You want to design a Randomized Control Trial to evaluate the treatment effectiveness of VMO training during closed kinetic chain exercises for patients with patella-femoral pain. Three groups will be compared: a control group (no treatment), a group with general exercise programs and a group with a specific program designed based on closed kinetic chain exercises for VMO.  Although as part of the sampling process a computer randomization has been planned, you are afraid that the variables of gender and previous physical activity might alter your results. What statistical analysis will help to control for the presence of this confounding variable?  

The average cost (COST) of heating a home is a function of outside Temperature (TEMP), thickness of Insulation (INSUL) and Age of furnace (AGE). Data is collected on these variables and a regression analysis is done on the data. An incomplete MS Excel output is shown below.   Regression Statistics         Multiple R           R Square           Adjusted R Square           Standard Error           Observations                        ANOVA             df SS MS F Signifcance F Regression   171220       Residual           Total 19 212916                     Coefficients Standard Error t Stat P-Value Lower 95% Intercept 427 59.6 7.17     TEMPT (X1)   0.7723 -5.93     INSUL (X2) -14.8 4.754       AGE (X3) 12.1 4.012         The hypothesis to be tested is:
