Question
The accompanying table shows a portion of a data set that refers to the property taxes owed by a homeowner (in $) and the size of the home (in square feet) in an affluent suburb 30 miles outside New York City.

Taxes | Size |
21,934 | 2,345 |
17,334 | 2,434 |
⋮ | ⋮ |
29,294 | 2,861 |
a. Estimate the sample regression equation that enables us to predict property taxes on the basis of the size of the home. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
TaxesˆTaxes^ = + Size.
b. Interpret the slope coefficient.
multiple choice
-
As Property Taxes increase by 1 dollar, the size of the house increases by 6.78 ft.
-
As Size increases by 1 square foot, the property taxes are predicted to increase by $6.78.
c. Predict the property taxes for a 1,500-square-foot home. (Round coefficient estimates to at least 4 decimal places and final answer to 2 decimal places.)

- The Cadet is a popular model of sport utility vehicle, known for its relatively high resale value. The bivariate data given below were taken from a sample of sixteen Cadets, each bought new two years ago, and each sold used within the past month. For each Cadet in the sample, we have listed both the mileage x (in thousands of miles) that the Cadet had on its odometer at the time it was sold used and the price y (in thousands of dollars) at which the Cadet was sold used. With the aim of predicting the used selling price from the number of miles driven, we might examine the least-squares regression line, y=41.57 – 0.49.x. This line is shown in the scatter plot in Figure 1.
