1. Estimate the sample regression equation that enables us to predict the price of a sedan on the basis of its age and mileage.

Note: Negative values should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answers to 2 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.]

2.  Interpret the slope coefficient of Age.

A. The slope coefficient of Age is −0.03, which suggests that for every additional year of age, the predicted price of car decreases by $0.03.
B. The slope coefficient of Age is −1021.82, which suggests that for every additional year of age, the predicted price of car decreases by $1021.82.
C. The slope coefficient of Age is −1021.82, which suggests that for every additional year of age, the predicted price of car decreases by $1021.82, holding number of miles constant.
D. The slope coefficient of Age is −0.03, which suggests that for every additional year of age, the predicted price of car decreases by $0.03, holding number of miles constant.
 

3. Predict the price of a five-year-old sedan with 65,000 miles.

Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Round final answer to 2 decimal places.
