The result of the descriptive chart is showing the mean of the dependent variable that is the first trial after drinking of coffee or decaffeinated substitute is 99.69 and standard deviation is 105.69, and the mean and standard deviation of independent variables are also mentioned in the above table.

b. Dependent Variable: time1

The above charts are showing that the significant value of ANOVA table is less than 0.05 and the value of R is 40.4 % and the value of R-square is 16.3 % that means there is a relationship between the dependent variable that is the first trial after drinking of coffee or decaffeinated substitute and the independent variables.

a. Dependent Variable: time1

From the above table, it can be understood that there is not too much multicolinearity between the variables because the values of tolerance and VIF are near to 1 which is a good indication. Moreover the beta values of all the independent variables are positive, but age is in negative that shows there is a negative relationship of the first trial after drinking of coffee with the age. However, there is a positive relationship between the first trials of coffee with the other independent variables (Keith, 2006, pp. 12-32).

(b) Using a multiple regression analysis explore the effects of the independent variables on TIME 10.
