Selling Price of single-family homes in Seattle are based on land values and structural improvements. You collected data on 28 recent single-family home sales in Seattle. You recorded selling price (in $000) and size (in square ft) of each home. You then completed a simple regression analysis to explain variation in selling price as a function of home size. (Attached picture)
a) Write the estimated regression equation.b) What percent of the total variation in selling price does the regression equation, or size, explain or determine? c) Interpret the value for standard error under Regression Statistics in this context (be specific).d) Interpret the value for the estimated slope coefficient for Size in this situation or context. e) Interpret the value for the estimated intercept coefficient in this situation. Should we give any importance to the intercept interpretation?
f) State the hyptheses associated with testing the statistical significance of the relationship between Size and…
