The percent of the population without health insurance
The percent of the adult (over 25) population without a high school diploma or equivalent
The percent of households with children under 18 run by a single mother
The student collects data from each state and Washington D.C. for the year 2012 and runs the regression in Excel. The results of this regression are given below.

Based on these results, select the independent variables that have a coefficient that is statistically significant at the 5% level. (Select all that apply.)
