QUESTION 1
1 Consider the following model Y =β0 + β1 𝑥𝑥1 + β2 𝑥𝑥2 where
Y = Price of apartments
𝑋𝑋1 = Distance of each apartment from the downtown in kilometres
𝑋𝑋2= Area of each apartment in square feet
a) Identify the least square point estimates 𝑏𝑏0 , 𝑏𝑏1 𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎 𝑏𝑏2
b) Use the above output to estimate the multiple linear regression equation
c) Interpret each one of the estimated regression coefficients
d) Predict the price of an apartment within 10 km distance from downtown and its
size is 105 square feet
e) Test the overall regression model for statistical significance , use α = 0.05
f) Test the statistical significance of 𝑋𝑋2
g) Construct and interpret a 95% interval for 𝑏𝑏2
QUESTION 2
The following data relate to Price (Y) of five randomly chosen houses in a certain
neighborhood the corresponding ages of the houses 𝑋𝑋1 and square footage 𝑋𝑋2
QUESTION 3
The percent survival of a certain type of animal semen, after storage, was measured at
various combinations of three materials used to increase chance of survival.
Where
Y = % survival
X 1 = material 1 weight %
X 2 = material 2 weight %
X 3 = material 3 weight %
Suppose that the regression model Y = β 0 + β 1 X 1 + β 2 X 2+ β 3 X 3 + ε is an appropriate
(a) Find the estimated percent survival when x01 = 3% , x02 = 8% and x03 = 9%
(b) Construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean percent survival when x01 = 3% ,
x02 = 8% and x03 = 9%
