A researcher is analyzing the relationship between various variables in housing data for 32 cities: median list prices of single family homes, condominium or co-ops, all homes, median household income, unemployment rate, and population.
What is the regression equation for the model that predicts the list price of all homes using population as an explanatory variable?What is the interpretation of the slope?
What is the interpretation of the intercept?
Measuring the height of a California redwood tree is very difficult because these trees grow to heights of over 300 feet. People familiar with these trees understand that the height of a California redwood tree is related to other characteristics of the tree, including the diameter of the tree at the breast height of a person. The data in the table represent the height (in feet) and diameter (in inches) at the breast height of a person for a sample of 21 California redwood trees.
Assuming a linear relationship, use the least- squares method to compute the regression coefficients b0 and b1. State the regression equation that predicts the height of a tree based on the tree’s diameter at breast height of a person.
Interpret the meaning of the slope in this equation.
Predict the mean height for a tree that has a breast height diameter of 25 inches.

- The following regression equation is based on the analysis of four variables: SM_DOLLARS is the dollar amount of a watershed conservation agency's weekly spending on social media ads. RADIO_ADS is the number of radio advertisements aired weekly by the agency. WS_DOLLARS is the dollar amount of the agency’s weekly spending on web search ads. The variable WEB_VISITS is the number of weekly visitors to their educational website. These data have been recorded every week for the past three years. WEB_VISITS (expected) = 208 + 1.5*SM_DOLLARS + 0.5*RADIO_ADS + 0.8*WS_DOLLARS The data meet the assumptions for regression analysis, and the regression results, including the coefficients, were found to be statistically significant.

- A 10-year study conducted by the American Heart Association provided data on how age, blood pressure, and smoking related to the risk of strokes. The data file “Statsdata2.xslx” includes a portion of the data from the study. The variable “Risk of Stroke” is measured as the percentage of risk (proportion times 100) that a person will have a stroke over the next 10-year period. Use Excel’s Data Analysis tool to conduct a simple linear regression between Risk of Stroke and Age. Choose confidence level at 95%. Please copy and paste the regression analysis output below. 1. Based on the simple regression analysis output, write the estimated regression equation. 2. If we choose the significance level α=0.05, is Age a significant factor in explaining the risk of a stroke? Explain. 3. What is the coefficient of determination (R-square)? How to interpret R-square?
