Imagine you are trying to explain the effect of square footage on home sale prices in the United States. You collect a random sample of 100,000 homes that recently sold. a) Homes can be one of three types: single-family houses, townhomes, or condos. How would you control for a home’s type in a regression model? b) Write down a regression model that includes controls for home type, square footage, and number of bedrooms. c) How would you interpret the estimated coefficients for each of the variables from part b? Be specific. Note Don't forget to include dummy variables.

General Cereals is using a regression model to estimate the demand for Tweetie Sweeties, a whistle-shaped, sugar-coated breakfast cereal for children. The following (multiplicative exponential) demand function is being used: QD=6,280 P(−1.85)A2.05N2.70QD=6,280 P−1.85A2.05N2.70 where QDQD = quantity demanded, in 10-oz boxes PP = price per box, in dollars AA = advertising expenditures on daytime television, in dollars NN = proportion of the population under 12 years old, in percent What is the point price elasticity of demand for Tweetie Sweeties? 2.05 2.70 -0.90 -1.85 What is the advertising elasticity of demand? 0.76 -1.85 2.70 2.05
A realtor was investigating the price of real estate based on the size of the house in square feet x1 and if the house was within walking distance of an "A" rated public school. The indicator variable is defined as x = 1 if the house is within walking distance of an "A" rated public school and x = 0 if the house is NOT within walking distance of an "A" rated public school. If there was interaction in the regression problem, an appropriately fit regression model would have…? a) A different slope and different y-intercept for those within walking distance and those not. b) A different y-intercept for those that were within walking distance and those that were not; the slope would not change. c) A different slope, but not a different y-intercept for those within walking distance and those not. d) Cannot be determined
Suppose that an economist has been able to gather data on the relationship between demand and price for a particular product. After analyzing scatterplots and using economic theory, the economist decides to estimate an equation of the form Q= aPb, where Q is quantity demanded and P is price. An appropriate regression analysis is then performed, and the estimated parameters turn out to be a = 1000 and b = - 1.3. Now consider two scenarios: (1) the price increases from $10 to $12.50; (2) the price increases from $20 to $25. a. Do you predict the percentage decrease in demand to be the same in scenario 1 as in scenario 2? Why or why not? b. What is the predicted percentage decrease in demand in scenario 1? What about scenario 2? Be as exact as possible.
The table below shows the number, in thousands, of vehicles parked in the central business district of a certain city on a typical Friday as a function of the hour of the day. Hour of the day Vehicles parked(thousands) 9 A.M. 6.2 11 A.M. 7.4 1 P.M. 7.5 3 P.M. 6.6 5 P.M. 3.9 (a) Use regression to find a quadratic model for the data. (Let V be the number of vehicles and t be the time in hours since midnight. Round the regression parameters to three decimal places.) V = (b) Express using functional notation the number of vehicles parked on a typical Friday at 4 P.M., and then estimate that value. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) V = = thousand

Being able to read regression results can help the manager use the information to make right decisions particularly in developing a marketing strategy. Assume that you are interested in finding whether the advertisement has a significant positive effect on sales. Which of the following is correct? A. lower standard errors of the estimates are better than higher standard errors B. as a rule of thumb, you are correct 95 % of the time in concluding that there is a positive and significant relationship between the advertising expenditures and sales if the coefficient attached to advertising expenditure is positive and the “t” value is at least 2 C. there is a positive significant relationship between advertising expenditure and sales if both the lower bound and the upper bound of the confidence interval are positive. D. the R2 shows the proportion of the variation in the sales as explained by the model which consists of the advertising expenditure plus some other determinants of sales…
Consider the following estimated regression model relating annual salary to years of education and work experience. Estimated Salary=11,681.31+3418.97(Education)+1194.78(Experience) Suppose two employees at the company have been working there for five years. One has a bachelor's degree (8 years of education) and one has a master's degree (10 years of education). How much more money would we expect the employee with a master's degree to make?
