- a) Describe the relationship between Mortgage Loan Amount and Interest Rate.
- b) If we standardized both variables, what would the
correlation coefficient between the standardized variables be? - c) If we were to measure Mortgage Loan Amount in billions of dollars instead of trillions of dollars, how would the correlation coefficient change?
- d) Suppose that next year, interest rates were 11% and mortgages totaled $60 trillion. How would including that year with these data affect the correlation coefficient?
- e) Do these data provide proof that if mortgage rates are lowered, people will take out larger mortgages? Explain.
