In inferential statistics, for linear regression models: If you want to know the effect of variable x on the response y should you also include other variables which have an effect on either x or response (y) or only the cofounders and the potential interaction terms between x and a cofounder?

Suppose you include an irrelevant variable (x3) on a regression model as an independent variable. Explain how to detect if x3 is an irrelevant variable on the regression model.

In a first-order multiple linear regression model with two predictor variables, X1 and X2, an interaction term may be used when it is believed that effect of the predictor variable X1 on the mean of Y is influenced, or depends upon, the value of X2. the sum of the predictor variables S = X1 + X2 should be used in a simple linear regression model instead of using X1 and X2 individually relationship between the dependent variable and the independent variables is linear effect of the predictor variable X1 is uncorrelated with the predictor variable X2 effect of the predictor variable X1 on the mean of Y is influenced, or depends upon, the value of the error term

Consider that a response variable (y) follows a regression model that has a categorical variable x1 (3 levels: L1, L2, L3), another categorical variable x2 (2 levels: yes or no), and a continuous variable x3. Construct the regression model such that we can study the effect of x3 on y and whether the effect of x3 on y is equal across all levels of x1 and x2.
