- An agent for a residential real estate company in a large city has the business objective of developing more accurate estimates of the monthly rental cost for apartments. Toward that goal, the agent would like to use the size of an apartment, as defined by square footage to predict the monthly rental cost. The agent selects a sample of 25 apartments in a particular residential neighborhood and collects the following data: Size (square feet) Rent ($) 850 1950 1450 2600 1085 2200 1232 2500 718 1950 1485 2700 1136 2650 726 1935 700 1875 956 2150 1100 2400 1285 2650 1985 3300 1369 2800 1175 2400 1225 2450 1245 2100 1259 2700 1150 2200 896 2150 1361 2600 1040 2650 755 2200 1000 1800 1200 2750 Make a Normal Probability Plot and a Residual plot of the Residuals (Y axis) vs. Apartment Size (X axis).

In particular, we will use the following variables:- size: home size, measured in square feet.- hhinc: annual household net income, measured in euros.- owner: dummy variable equal to 1 if the living space is owned, and 0 if the livingspace is rented.- hhsize1: dummy variable equal to 1 if the number of household’s members is 1 or2, and 0 otherwise.- hhsize2: dummy variable equal to 1 if the number of household’s members is 3 or4, and 0 otherwise.- hhsize3: dummy variable equal to 1 if the number of household’s members is 5 orabove 5, and 0 otherwise.- edu: education level of household’s members. We conduct a simple regression of size on hhinc, now using robust standard errors.The regression output is reported in Table 2.
