155 hospital patients completed a questionnaire about their hospital stay. We examine the variables
Satisfaction and Stay (length of stay). Stay is measured in days and takes values 1,2,3,4,5,6,7, while
Satisfaction is compiled from the completed questionnaire.
(a) A partial analysis of variance table for the means model is given below.

What is R2? What is the estimate of ?
(b) A partial analysis of variance table for the regression of Satisfaction on Stay is given below.
