A researcher wants to examine how the remaining balance on $100,000 loans taken 10 to 20 years ago depends on whether the loan was a prime or subprime loan. He collected a sample of 25 prime loans and 25 subprime loans and recorded the data in the following variables:Balance = the remaining amount of loan to be paid off (in $),Time = the time elapsed from taking the loan,Prime = a dummy variable assuming 1 for prime loans, and 0 for subprime loans.The regression results obtained for the models:Model A: Balance = ?0 + ?1Prime + ?Model B: Balance = ?0 + ?1Time + ?2Prime + ?3Time × Prime + ?Model C: Balance = ?0 + ?1Prime + ?2Time × Prime + ?,are summarized in the following table.VariableModel AModel BModel CIntercept88,020 (t = 77.89)90,269

No, because Model B reduces than to Model A with lower R2. D. Yes, because Model B reduces than to Model C with higher adjusted R2.
