Expert Solution
Step 1

Given, 

There is a need to predict the price of a home by the number of bedrooms that it has.

Let Y be the random variable that denotes the price of a home.

and X be the random variable that denotes the number of bedrooms.

If there is a linear relationship between the random variable X and Y. 

Then the regression equation between the variable X and Y is given as-

y=α+βxWhereα= intercept of the line of regressionβ=slope of the line of regression.

Interpretation for the slope and intercept for the regression line is given as-

  • Interpretation of slope (β)- With an unit increase in the number of bedrooms, the price of a home will increase approximatey by Rs β
  • Interpretation of intercept (α)-If there are no bedrooms then the price of a home is Rs α
