b. What proportion of the variation in sales from one agent to another is attributable to territory size? What proportion is due to other factors?
c. Does territory size have a significant impact on sales? How do you know?
d. Find the p-value (as either p > 0.05, p < 0.05, p < 0.01, p < 0.001)
e. Find the actual p-value for the significance of the slope coefficient, using statistical software, and use it to verify your answer to part d.
