A government agency is interested in developing the most accurate forecast for the poverty rate in the United States and decides to perform regression analyses using a combination of the following independent variables: the percent of women in the labor force and the percent of the population that is uninsured. The agency collects data from all 50 U.S. states but is unsure whether both variables should be in the model. The agency runs three regressions:
Regression A. Poverty Rate = a + b1*(Percent of women in the labor force) + b2*(Percent uninsured)
Regression B. Poverty Rate = a + b*(Percent of women in the labor force)
Regression C. Poverty Rate = a + b*(Percent uninsured)

The regression statistics for all three regressions are given below. Based on these statistics, which model should the agency use to obtain the MOST accurate forecast?
