Assume that the number of visits by a particular customer to a mall located in downtown Toronto is related to the distance from the customer's home. The following regression analysis shows the relationship between the number of times a customer visits(Y)per month and the distance(X, measured in km) from the customer's home to the mall. \[ Y=15-0.5 X \] A customer who lives30 kmaway from the mall will visi______ who lives10 km away. less times than a customerarrow_forward
- The following regression was run using a sample of 587 women living in Kenya. The variable goats is the number of goats the woman owns and grant is whether the woman received $ 500 in cash (in local currency equivalent) two years ago from the charity GiveDirectly, or not. The charity gives grants randomly to poor people in Kenya, of $ 500. goats = 6.42 +0.80 grant R2=0.35 1. What is the estimated coefficient for grant? What does it mean, in words?
