You are given information on the use of public transportation in the data set within the image.

  1. Number of weekly riders                                     y -variable
  2. Price per week (of using public transportation) x-variable
  3. Population of city                                                 x-variable
  4. Monthly income of riders                                     x variable        
  5. Average parking rates per month x-variable

 

(a) Run a regression of the Number of weekly riders on Price per week, Population of city, Monthly income of riders, Average parking rates per month. Please copy and paste your regression results and do not submit your EXCEL worksheet.

 

(b) If the average parking rates increase by $1, what will be the change in the number of weekly riders? Will this change be a statistically significant change? Please explain.

 

(c) If the price per week (of using public transportation) increases by $1, what will be the change in the number of weekly riders? Will this change be a statistically significant change? Please explain.
