Chapter 14, Problem 1E
The director of marketing at Reeves Wholesale Products is studying monthly sales. Three independent variables were selected as estimators of sales: regional population, per capita income, and regional unemployment rate. The regression equation was computed to be (in dollars):
- a. What is the full name of the equation?
- b. Interpret the number 64,100.
- c. What are the estimated monthly sales for a particular region with a population of 796,000, per capita income of $6,940, and an unemployment rate of 6.0%?

A car dealer wants to estimate the price of a used car based on the age of the car and the mileage. Based on a sample of 20 cars, she determines the sample regression equation that predicts price taxes on the basis of the age (in years) of the number of miles is
Price=21,619-1022Age-0.03 Miles
(a) If the age of the car was fixed and the mileage was increased by 10,000, how much would the price increase or decrease and by how much?
(b) Predict the selling price of a five-year-old car with 65,000 miles. (Round your answers to the nearest whole number.)
The line of best fit through a set of data is
Y =
– 11.943 + 2.982x
According to this equation, what is the predicted value of the dependent variable when the independent
variable has value 100?
ŷ =

Daphne, who graduated from one of the prestigious schools in Cebu, was asked by her boss to estimate the demand of the customer for the succeeding month. The resulting estimated regression equation is y = 1.304 + 0.602x, with the following range of independent variables: 0, 5, 8, 13, 16, 18, and 23. How will her boss interpret the estimated intercept?
