Question

 Part A

 

The next questions are in relation to recent study of house prices in Sydney. The variables investigated are:

 

1             SalePrice                             Selling Price in Thousands of dollars

 

2             Distance                             Distance from Sydney CBD in Kilometers

 

3             LandSize                             Land size in square meters

 

4             Building Area                    Building Area Construction in square meters

 

 

 

Research Question: Is there a relation between Price of the house and land size?

 

The output below presents the relation between Price of the house (in thousands of dollars) and land size.The

Call: lm(formula = SalePrice ~ LandSize)

Coefficients:

(Intercept)          LandSize

>summary(results1)

Call: lm(formula = SalePrice ~ LandSize)

Coefficients:

            Estimate    Std. Error  t value   Pr(>|t|)   

(Intercept) 493.42    119.47     4.13    0.0001

 - Comment on the relation between the two test marks using the scatterplot.(Choose one from below)

 

-There appears to be a moderate positive  linear relation between the two variables.
-There appears to be weak positive linear relation between the two variables.
-There appears to be no  linear relation between the two variables
-There appears to be strong negative linear relation between the two variables.

 

-If the linear equation between the Sale Price and Land Sale is given as: 

What is the value of a from the output above (2 dp) 

=

What is the value of b from the output above (2 dp)  

=

Is there a relation between Sale Price and Land Size?

 

Perform an appropriate hypothesis test to answer the above research question:

 

- The null and alternative hypotheses are (Choose one from below)

-H0: μ = 0, H1: μ ≠ 0
-H0: μ = 0, H1: μ ≠ 0
-H0: π = 0, H1: π ≠ 0
-H0: μ1- μ= 0, H1: μ1- μ2 ≠ 0
-H0: β = 0, H1: β ≠ 0

.

 

 

-   How can you justify the assumption for this test? (Choose one from below)

-Since nπ and n(1-π) are both ≥5, the Central Limit Theorem applies and we can assume that p arises from a normal distribution
-The shape of the histogram indicates that the scores may be from a normal distribution and/or the sample size is reasonably large so the sample mean will be from a normal population
-The boxplots indicate that the samples are fairly symmetric and the spreads are similar, so we can assume both sets of data come from normal distributions with the same spread
-The points are randomly scattered around a straight line, so the assumptions of linearity and constant spread are satisfied.  The shape of the histogram indicates that the residuals come from a normal distribution
-None of these

 

 

 

-Calculate and give the value of the test statistic? (3 dp): (Choose one from below)

205.9 0.193 8.215 4.130 4.224

 

 

 

- What are the degrees of freedom? (Choose one from below)

Step 1

1) From the scatter plot, there appears to be a moderate positive linear relation between the two variables.

2) a=493.42 and b=1.58

3) H0: β = 0, H1: β ≠ 0

4) The shape of the histogram indicates that the scores may be from a normal distribution and/or the sample size is reasonably large so the sample mean will be from a normal population.
