(5 points) Consider an equation to explain rent rates (rent)

in a college town. Using the data, the following equation is obtained by OLS:    
where rent is the average monthly rent paid on rental units in a college town in the United States, pop is the total city population, avginc is the average city income, and pctstu is the student population as a percentage of the total population.  
 

-Dropping avginc and pctstu from the equation gives  
 
Are avginc and pctstu jointly significant in the original equation at the 1% level? Show your work.
