A home appraisal company would like to develop a regression model that would predict the selling price of a house based on the age of the house in years (X1), the living area of the house in square feet (X2), and the number of bedrooms (X3). The following regression model was chosen using a data set of house statistics: 88,399554791.3333x231,471.1372x3 The first house from the data set had the following values: Selling price $324,000 Age-22 years Square Feet-2.900 -

You are the owner of a restaurant located in a beach resort in Hawaii and want to use regression analysis to estimate the demand for your fresh seafood dinners. You have collected data on the daily quantity of seafood dinners sold over the last summer season. In order to correctly specify your regression equation, which of the following variables should be considered? Select one: A. the prices charged for souvenirs in local stores B. the prices charged for scuba diving excursions at the resort C. the wages paid to your chef and servers D. the daily number of vacationers at the resort
Instructions: Submit a well-formatted Word, pdf, or similar file in Canvas with your R scripts, regression output, and answers to the questions below. This lab exercise asks you to evaluate the housing market. The data set housingprices40.csv contains all sales of single-family homes in Davis, CA in May 2018 (n = 40). Assume that these homes are a random sample. The dependent variable in the regression model is the natural logarithm of the actual price of each house sold. The regression specification is: In(price;) = B2 + B2 In(estimate;) + B3bdrms; + B4bathrms; +B; In(sqrft;) + B6 In(lotsize}) + Brage; + Bapooli+Bocentrali + & where price is the house selling price, estimate is the estimated housing value from April 2018 from a prominent online site that values homes, bdrms is the number of bedrooms, bathrms is the number of bathrooms, sqrft is the interior square footage, lotsize is size of the lot (in feet), age is the age of the house in years, pool is a binary variable set to…
Using data from a random sample of 1000 working adults, we obtain the following estimated regression to study the effect of experience (exper) on log of wage (log(wage)). log(wage) = 5.423 -0.034ezper +0.009ezper² + 0.082educ + 0.157male What other regression do you need to run to test the null hypothesis that, holding other factors fixed, experience has no effect on log(wage)? Explain what test you would perform.
Your company just became international by offering its products in both the United States and Canada. Experts in your analytics department believe that tastes for your product differ in those two countries, and have carefully collected data on prices and quantity demanded in both countries. They then present you with the results of two regressions, one for each country, as follows: Log Price regressed on Log Quantity (United States): Standard Coefficients Error t Stat P-value Lower 95% Upper 95 % 1.67605E- Intercept 52.75573994 10.81051303 4.88040363 31.48708283 74.0239705 06 | Log Quantity -5.382266173 1.170584108 -4.597932039 6.15253E-06 -7.685279168 -3.079253177 Log Price regressed on Log Quantity (Canada): Standard Error Coefficients 22.8707593 10.64507785 -2.095788278 | 1.152727409 -1.818112644 0.069981782 t Stat 2.148482109 Upper 95% 43.8139384 P-value Lower 95% Intercept Log Quantity 0.032425603 1.9275802 -4.363669916 0.17209336 Assume you have adequate statistical significance…
Imagine you are an economist working for the Government of Econville. You are tasked with developing a model to predict the GDP of the country based on various factors such as interest rates, inflation, unemployment rate, and population growth. You collect quarterly data for the past 20 years and start building your model. After running your initial regression, you notice some peculiar patterns in the residuals: (1) residuals do not have identical variances across different levels of the independent variables; (2) two or more independent variables in a regression model are highly correlated with each other; (3) the correlation of a variable with its own past values. You suspect that your model might be suffering from 3 potential issues in the regression analysis that can affect reliability and validity. List 2 factors in your model that might be causing the Multicollinearity and give a reason
The data for this question is given in the file 1.Q1.xlsx(see image) and it refers to data for some cities X1 = total overall reported crime rate per 1 million residents X3 = annual police funding in $/resident X7 = % of people 25 years+ with at least 4 years of college (a) Estimate a regression with X1 as the dependent variable and X3 and X7 as the independent variables. (b) Will additional education help to reduce total overall crime (lead to a statistically significant reduction in crime)? Please explain. (c) Will an increase in funding for the police departments help reduce total overall crime (lead to a statistically significant reduction in total overall crime)? Please explain. (d) If you were asked to recommend a policy to reduce crime, then, based only on the above regression results, would you choose to invest in education (local schools) or in additional funding for the police? Please explain.
Suppose you work for North Dakota DNR Grand Forks office. DNR would like to know whether they should set aside some conservation land, previously slated to be logged, for a potential state park. You are helping do a travel-cost analysis to estimate the benefits of the set-aside. You collected data from 500 visitors who came to a state park in a neighboring state. You ran regression analysis and controlled for these visitors' age, income, education, employment status, and other important factors that might affect the number of visits. With all the information, you have developed the following relationship: (a) (b) Cost to Visit $20 $40 $80 # of Visits Per Person Per Year 8 6 2 Graph the demand curve for the number of visits as a function of the "price" -- the travel cost. Based on demographic information about the people living in the vicinity of the proposed park, you have estimated that 10,000 people will take an average of 4 visits per year. For the average person, calculate: (1) The…
An example of a cubic regression model is Yi= 30 + B1X + 32x2 + 33x³ + ui Yi = 30 + B1X + 32x² + ui. Yi = 30 + ß1ln(X) + ui Yi= 30 + 31X + B2Y2 + ui.
