A collector of antique clocks sold at auction believes that the price received for the clocks may
be modeled as a linear function of the age of the clocks and the number of bidders at the auction.
After a preliminary study and collection of 32 observations, the collector came up with the
following second-order model:
y = BO+B₁x₁+B₂x₂ + ß3 x1x2 +B4x² +ɛ, where y: price of a clock; x₁: age of a clock; x2: the
number of bidders. Considering the output below and by setting a = 0.05, answer the following
questions.
The regression equation is
Price = 262 +2.26 Age + 14.2 Bidder + 1.13 AgeBid 4.20 Bid^2
