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: y=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 2.000 Bedrooms 3 The residual for this house is 23,558 -41,480 10,216 -16,095 27
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 Heteroscedasticity and give a reason
Other Companies (Part 2) You directed your research department to do some research on the demand for Tesla sedans. They selected BMW i3 Sedans and Chevy Bolts as comparative offerings. Using regression analysis, the research department comes up the following estimate for yearly demand. Qx = -40,000 -1*Px +0.02*M +2*PB +2*PC Where: Px = $70,000, M = $150,000, PB = $65,000, PC = $40,000 a. Is the own price elasticity of demand for Tesla sedans at the point defined above elastic or inelastic? If Mr. Musk decides to raise his prices, what will happen to his revenue. b. PB and PC represent the price for i3 sedans and Bolt sedans respectively. Are these items compliments or substitutes when compared to Teslas? Give evidence to support your answer. c. Is the demand for Tesla sedans elastic or inelastic to price changes of BMW i3 and Bolt at the price points given in the problem? Interpret the result you find and explain what it means.
The Atlas Movies Theater is planning to reprice their ticket rates to maximize revenues. They have three classes of tickets: Classic, Silver, and Gold. The accompanying table provides information on the average ticket sales, revenue and price elasticity on demand. They have a total seating capacity of 300. The table also provides the price range within which they plan to reduce their ticket rates. According to the nonlinear model, which of the following is the projected revenue figure for Silver tickets based on its new price? Click the icon to view the ticketing model.

The Weibracht Corporation designs and manufactures custom beer steins for some of the numerous brew pubs in western North Carolina. Each stein costs Weibracht $8 to produce. The brew pubs purchase the steins from Weibracht for resale to their customers and require a 51% margin. Weibracht’s marketing director has conducted a regression analysis using historical data, resulting in the following regression line: q = -12 * p + 326, where q = slope * retail price + MWB What is the profit maximizing price that Weibracht should charge the brew pubs for these custom steins?
We estimate a simple regression explaining monthly salary (salary) in terms of IQ score (IQ), using data from a random sample of 935 individuals. We obtain the following estimated regression line: salary = 117 + 8.30 × IQ What is the correct interpretation of the estimated slope coefficient? Individuals with IQ scores of 100 have, on average, monthly wages of $830. An additional one point increase in IQ score is associated, on average, with an increase in monthly salary of $8.30. An additional one point increase in IQ score is associated, on average, with a decrease in monthly salary of $8.30. Each additional one point increase in IQ score will cause an increase in an individual's monthly salary by $8.30.
5. Confounding variables and multiple regressions Suppose you are interested in studying the effect of square footage on the price of houses. You propose the following regression of housing prices on square footage: price - Bo + P sqft + u where price the price of the house. sqft = the square footage of the house residual Failing to account for the number of bathrooms in a house, which may influence housing prices and may be positively correlated with square footage, could lead to estimate of the effect . This issue of confounding variables would likely bias the estimate of
The Physics Club sells E = mc2 T-shirts at the local flea market. Unfortunately, the club's previous administration has been losing money for years, so you decide to do an analysis of the sales. A quadratic regression based on old sales data reveals the following demand equation for the T-shirts. q = −2p2 + 30p (9 ≤ p ≤ 15) Here, p is the price the club charges per T-shirt, and q is the number it can sell each day at the flea market. (a) Obtain a formula for the price elasticity of demand for E = mc2 T-shirts. E = (b) Compute the elasticity of demand if the price is set at $9 per shirt. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) Interpret the result. The demand for E = mc2 T-shirts is going down by about ____% per 1% increase in the price. (c) How much should the Physics Club charge for the T-shirts to obtain the maximum daily revenue? $ What will the revenue be? $
