An аgrоnоmist wаnts tо use Bаckward Stepwise Elimination to determine which factors significantly affect the height of corn stalks. Assume the residual plots look good.  The significance level for staying in the model is set at α= 0.05.   The agronomist first gets the coefficients and p-values as shown below: Variable     Coefficient p-value Water Amount    0.45 0.002 Fertilizer Type    1.20 0.041 Soil pH    -0.12 0.612 Sunlight Hours    0.88 0.015 Wind Speed    -0.05 0.124   They then remove Soil pH and rerun the model to get these results Variable     Coefficient p-value Water Amount    0.45 0.052 Fertilizer Type    1.20 0.328 Sunlight Hours    0.88 0.001 Wind Speed    -0.05 0.419 What should be the next step?
