Chapter 13.4, Problem 39E
Let y = sales at a fast-food outlet (1000s of $), x1 = number of competing outlets within a 1-mile radius, x2 = population within a 1-mile radius (1000s of people), and x3 be an indicator variable that equals 1 if the outlet has a drive-up window and 0 otherwise. Suppose that the true regression model is
Y = 10.00 − 1.2x1 + 6.8x2 + 15.3x3 + ϵ
a. What is the
b. What is the mean value of sales for an outlet without a drive-up window that has three competing outlets and 5000 people within a 1-mile radius?
c. Interpret β3.

Find the degrees of freedom in a regression model with an intercept term that has 88 observations and 7 explanatory variables.
A real estate company wants to study the relationship between house sales prices and some important predictors of sales prices. Based on data from recently
sold homes in the space, the following variables are used in a multiple regression model.
y = sales price (in thousands of dollars)
x₁ =
total floor area (in square feet)
x₂ =
number of bedrooms
x3 distance to nearest high school (in miles)
=
The estimated model is as follows.
=76+0.098x₁ +16x₂ - 8x3
Answer the questions below for the interpretation of the coefficient of X₂ in this model.
(a) Holding the other variables fixed, what is the average change in sales price for each
additional bedroom in a house?
dollars
(b) Is this change an increase or a decrease?

Suppose that a simple linear regression model is appropriate for describing the relationship between y = house price and x = house size (sq ft) for houses in a large city. The true regression line is y = 23,000 + 48x and ? = 4000.
(a) What is the average change in price associated with one extra sq ft of space?$ With an additional 100 sq ft of space?$ (b) What proportion of 1800 sq ft homes would be priced over $110,000? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)Under $100,000? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
