The homeownership rate in the U.S. was 64.1% in 2009. In order to determine if homeownership is linked with income, 2009 state-level data on the homeownership rate (Ownership in %) and median household income (Income in $) were collected. A portion of the data is shown in the accompanying table.

a-1. Estimate the model Ownership =
β0 + β1Income + ε.
(Negative values should be indicated by a minus sign. Round
your answers to 4 decimal places.) [If you are using R to obtain
the output, then first enter the following command at the prompt:
options(scipen=10). This will ensure that the output is not in
scientific notation.]
yˆy^ = + Income |
a-2. Interpret the model.
For a $1000 increase in income, homeownership rate is predicted to decrease by 0.01%.
For a $1000 increase in income, homeownership rate is predicted to decrease by 0.1%.
For a $1000 increase in income, homeownership rate is predicted to decrease by 0.001%.
For a $1000 increase in income, homeownership rate is predicted to decrease by 0.0001%.
b. What is the standard error of the estimate?
(Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
c. Interpret the coefficient of
determination.
2.79% of the sample variation in y is explained by the estimated regression equation.
6.18% of the sample variation in x is explained by the estimated regression equation.
4.27% of the sample variation in x is explained by the estimated regression equation.
2.48% of the sample variation in y is explained by the estimated regression equation.
I have used R code to build simple linear regression model.
(a-1) SIMPLE LINEAR REGRESSION R OUTPUT:
ESTIMATED SIMPLE LINEAR REGRESSION EQUATION:
The estimated simple linear regression equation is given by,
where
is the predicted dependent variable
is the intercept
is the slope coefficient of variable "Income"
is the independent variable "Income".
(a-2) MODEL INTERPRETATION:
For a $1000 increase in income, homeownership rate is predicted to decrease by 0.0001%.
(b) STANDARD ERROR OF ESTIMATE:
The standard error of estimate is .
(c) COEFFICIENT OF DETERMINATION:
The coefficient of determination . Thus % of the sample variation in y is explained by the estimated regression equation.
