A sociologist is looking at the relationship between consumption expenditures of families in the United States (Consumption in $), family income (Income in $), and whether or not the family lives in an urban or rural community (Urban = 1 if urban, 0 otherwise). She collects data on 50 families across the United States, a portion of which is shown in the accompanying table.

a. Estimate: Consumption = β0 + β1Income + ɛ to predict consumption for a family with income of $77,000. (Round coefficient estimates to at least 4 decimal places and round final answer to the nearest whole number.)

Predicted consumption expenditures= ?

 

b. Include a dummy variable Urban to predict consumption for a family with income of $77,000 in urban and rural communities. (Round coefficient estimates to at least 4 decimal places and round final answer to the nearest whole number.)

                                                Predicted consumption

Urban community = ?

Rural community= ?

 

c. Include Income, a dummy variable Urban and an interaction variable (Income × Urban) to predict consumption for a family with income of $77,000 in urban and rural communities. (Round coefficient estimates to at least 4 decimal places and round final answer to the nearest whole number.)

 

                                              Predicted consumption

Urban community =                        ?

Rural community=                         ?
