Question

Consider the following Stata output for the model of house prices:

lhprice=β01bdrms+β2llotsize+β3lsqrft+u

estimated on a random sample of 86 houses. You may assume the Gauss Markov Assumptions hold. 

The variables are defined as:

  • lhprice = the natural log of the house price
  • bedrms = the number of bedrooms
  • llotsize = the natural log of the land or lot size
  • lsqrft = the natural log of the floor space of the house in square feet.

Does the number of bedrooms have a statistically significant effect on the house price at the 1% significance level?

a) No, all else equal, the effect of the number of bedrooms is not statistically significant at the 1% level.

b) Yes, all else equal, the effect of the number of bedrooms is statistically significant at the 1% level.
