Question

Census data was collected on the 50 states and Washington, D.C. We are interested in determining whether average lifespan (LIFE) is related to the ratio of males to females in percent (MALE), birth rate per 1,000 people (BIRTH), divorce rate per 1,000 people (DIVO), number of hospital beds per 100,000 people (BEDS), percentage of population 25 years or older having completed 16 years of school (EDUC) and per capita income (INCO).

Using R commands, perform a PARTIAL F-test at level α =1% to determine whether the variables associated with MALE and INCO can be removed from the model. Please include all the R commands, snapshot of the result, and the conclusion you drawn from the result. Thanks!
