Consider the estimated regression equation we developed that can be used to predict the selling price given the number of bathrooms, square footage, and number of bedrooms in the house. (x, denotes number of bathrooms, x₂ denotes…
In 2011 home prices and mortgage rates dropped so low that in a number of cities the monthly cost of owning a home was less expensive than renting. The following data show the average asking rent for 10 markets and the monthly mortgage on the median priced home (including taxes and insurance) for 10 cities where the average monthly mortgage payment was less than the average asking rent (The Wall Street Journal, November 26–27, 2011).Click on the datafile logo to reference the data.
Enter negative values as negative numbers.
a. Develop the estimated regression equation that can be used to predict the monthly mortgage given the average asking rent (to 2 decimals).The regression equation is:Mortgage ($) = + Rent ($)

Advertisers contract with internet service providers and search engines to place ads on websites. They pay a fee based on the number of potential customers who click on their ad. Unforțunately, click fraud-the practice of someone clicking on an ad solely for the purpose of driving up advertising revenue–has become a problem. Businessweek reports that 4C percent of advertisers claim they have been a victim of click fraud. Suppose a simple random sample of 390 advertisers will be taken to learn more about how they are affected by this practice. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)

- A particular magazine identified the top accounting firms in 8 geographic regions across a certain country. Even though all 8 regions reported growth in the past year, region A and region B reported the highest combined growths, with 17% and 25%, respectively. A characteristic description of the accounting firms in these regions included the number of partners in the firm. The accompanying table contains data on the number of partners.

IMPORTANT NOTE: In all of these questions, there are 2 possible ratios A/B and B/AI Our convention is to always assume that the larger variance is in the numerator (i.e., on top). The correct answer will always be found in this fashion. Similarly, in questions about a critical value, we shall consider the right (upper) tail. a.
