Question
A real estate agent wanted to find the relationship between sale price of houses and the size of the house.
She collected data on two variables recorded in the following table for 15 houses in Seattle. The two variables
are
PRICE= Sale price of houses in thousands of dollars
SIZE= Area of the entire house in square feet.

a) Using MICROSOFT EXCEL- run the above regression and copy the output into your assignment word document
from which you can write down the least square regression line. Write down the least square regression line
from that specific output. USE THE NAME OF VARIABLES WHEN YOU WRITE THE EQUATION.
b) Interpret the slope and constant term with proper UNITS assigned.
c) Comment on the explanatory power of the regression model from the required output. Copy that specific
output into your assignment word document.
Now to increase the explanatory power of the model the real estate agent decides to look at the age of the
house and the garden size. For the 15 houses in our sample the new variables are
AGE= Age of the house in years, since it was built
GARDEN= Area of the garden in acres.

d) Once these two new variables are added- run the new regression using MICROSOFT EXCEL. Copy the output
into your assignment word document from which you can write down the new least square regression line.
Write down the new least square regression line from that specific output. USE THE NAME OF VARIABLES
WHEN YOU WRITE THE EQUATION.
e) Interpret the coefficients with all the independent variables with proper UNITS.
f) Comment on the explanatory power of the regression model from the required output. Copy the output into
your assignment word document.
g) Compare the two regression models that you have found using the appropriate parameter. which is better
and why? Give proper reasoning.
h) If you were to add a DUMMY VARIABLE in this regression model what would be an appropriate one? Why?
