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 ($) = + Rent ($)

The dating web site Oollama.com requires its users to create profiles based on a survey in which they rate their interest (on a scale from 0 to 3) in five categories: physical fitness, music, spirituality, education, and alcohol consumption. A new Oollama customer, Erin O'Shaughnessy, has reviewed the profiles of 40 prospective dates and classified whether she is interested in learning more about them.
Based on Erin's classification of these 40 profiles, Oollama has applied a logistic regression to predict Erin's interest in other profiles that she has not yet viewed. The resulting logistic regression model is as follows:
For the 40 profiles (observations) on which Erin classified her interest, this logistic regression model generates that following probability of Interested.
