The excel data file named “Family-Residences Data” (posted in the content area under Week IX) presents the sale price y (thousands), square footage (x1), number of rooms (x2), number of bedrooms (x3), and age (x4) for each of 63 single-family residences sold in Oxford, Ohio. Use any software of your choice to conduct a multiple regression analysis for this data set. Use the result of this analysis to answer the questions below.

1. Write a regression model that relates the dependent variable to the independent variables.

2. Interpret the error term in this model. What does it represent?

3. Identify the least squares point estimates of b0, b1, b2, b3, and b4 from your software output. Approximate these to four decimal places when necessary.

4. Write a multiple regression equation that relates sale price to square footage, number of rooms, number of bedrooms, and age.

5. Does the model explain a substantial portion of the variability in sale prices? Explain.

6. Do the signs and magnitudes of the estimated coefficients appear to be reasonable? Explain.

7. Write the multiple regression hypotheses to be tested.

8. Use F test to test the adequacy of the model with a = .05. Interpret the result of this test.

9. Use the p-value from your software output to test the importance of each of the independent variables x1, x2, x3, and x4 at a= .05. Which variables are not important? Explain.

10. Use the residential sales estimated equation to predict sales price of a residence that has 1700 square feet, seven rooms, and three bedrooms and is 15 years old.
