Answer to Problem 62DE

The regression equation is y^=64.7931+0.0703x.

The selling price of a home with an area of 2,200 square feet is $219,429.30.

The 95% confidence interval for all 2,200 square foot homes is (210,882.70,227,975.90)

The 95% prediction interval for the selling price of a home with 2,200 square feet is (131,837.60,307,021.0)

Explanation of Solution

Here, the selling price is the dependent variable and size of the home is the independent variable.

Step-by-step procedure to obtain the ‘regression equation’ using MegaStat software:

  • In an EXCEL sheet enter the data values of x and y.
  • Go to Add-Ins > MegaStat > Correlation/Regression > Regression Analysis.
  • Select input range as ‘Sheet1!$B$2:$B$106’ under Y/Dependent variable.
  • Select input range ‘Sheet1!$A$2:$A$106’ under X/Independent variables.
  • Select ‘Type in predictor values’.
  • Enter 2,200 as ‘predictor values’ and 95% as ‘confidence level’.
  • Click on OK.

Output obtained using MegaStat software is given below:

From the regression output, the regression equation is as follows.

y^=64.7931+0.0703x.

Where y is the selling price and x is the size of the home.

The selling price of a home with an area of 2,200 square feet is $219,429.30.

The 95% confidence interval for all 2,200 square foot homes is (210,882.70,227,975.90)

The 95% prediction interval for the selling price of a home with 2,200 square feet is (131,837.60,307,021.0)

Answer to Problem 62DE

The regression equation is y^=270.16703.3540(x).

The estimated selling price of a home with 20 miles from the center of the city is $203087.10.

The 95% confidence interval for homes with 20 miles from the center of the city is

 (190,267.40,215,906.80)

The 95% prediction interval for homes with 20 miles from the center of the city is

(114,117.8,292,056.5)

Explanation of Solution

Step-by-step procedure to obtain the ‘regression equation’ using MegaStat software:

  • In an EXCEL sheet enter the data values of x and y.
  • Go to Add-Ins > MegaStat > Correlation/Regression > Regression Analysis.
  • Select input range as ‘Sheet1!$C$2:$C$106’ under Y/Dependent variable.
  • Select input range ‘Sheet1!$B$2:$B$106’ under X/Independent variables.
  • Select ‘Type in predictor values’.
  • Enter 20 as ‘predictor values’ and 95% as ‘confidence level’.
  • Click on OK.

Output obtained using MegaStat software is given below:

STAT TECHNIQUES IN BUSI 2370 >CI<, Chapter 13, Problem 62DE , additional homework tip  2

From the above output, the regression equation is as follows:

y^=270.16703.3540(x)

Where y is the selling price of a home and x is the distance from the center of the city.

The estimated selling price of a home with 20 miles from the center of the city is $203087.10.

The 95% confidence interval for homes with 20 miles from the center of the city is (190,267.40,215,906.80)

The 95% prediction interval for a home with 20 miles from the center of the city is

(114,117.8,292,056.5)

c.

To determine

Check whether there is a negative correlation between “distance from the center of the city” and “selling price” using 0.05 significance level.

Check whether there is a positive correlation between the “area of the home” and “selling price” using 0.05 significance level.

Report the p-value of the test and summarize the results.

Answer to Problem 62DE

There is a negative association between “distance from the center of the city” and “selling price”.

There is a positive association between “selling price” and “area of the home”.

Explanation of Solution

Denote the population correlation as ρ.

The null and alternative hypotheses are stated below:

Null hypothesis:

H0:ρ0

That is, the correlation between “distance from the center of the city” and “selling price” is greater than or equal to zero.

Alternative hypothesis:

H1:ρ<0

That is, the correlation between “distance from the center of the city” and “selling price” is less than zero.

Here, the sample size is 105 and the correlation coefficient between “distance from the center of the city” and “selling price” is –0.347.

The test statistic is as follows:

t=0.34710521(0.347)2=0.347×1030.9378=3.75

Thus, the test statistic value is –3.75.

The degrees of freedom is as follows:

df=n2=1052=103

The level of significance is 0.05. Therefore, 1α=0.95.

Critical value:

Step-by-step software procedure to obtain the critical value using EXCEL software:

  • Open an EXCEL file.
  • In cell A1, enter the formula “=T.INV (0.95, 103)”.

Output obtained using EXCEL is given as follows:

STAT TECHNIQUES IN BUSI 2370 >CI<, Chapter 13, Problem 62DE , additional homework tip  3

Decision rule:

Reject the null hypothesis H0, if |t|-calculated>|t|-critical value. Otherwise, fail to reject H0.

Conclusion:

The value of test statistic is –3.75 and the critical value is 1.659.

Here, |t|-calculated(=3.75)>|t|-critical value(1.659).

By the rejection rule, reject the null hypothesis.

Thus, it can be concluded that there is a negative association between“distance from the center of the city” and “selling price”.

Calculation of p-value:

Using excel formula = T.DIST (–3.75,103,TRUE)

STAT TECHNIQUES IN BUSI 2370 >CI<, Chapter 13, Problem 62DE , additional homework tip  4

The p-value of the test is 0.000.

Check the correlation between independent variables “area of the home” and “selling price” is positive:

The hypotheses are given below:

Null hypothesis:

H0:ρ0

That is, the correlation between “size of the home” and “selling price” is less than or equal to zero.

Alternative hypothesis:

H1:ρ>0

That is, the correlation between “size of the home” and “selling price” is positive.

Here, the sample size is 105 and the correlation coefficient is 0.371.

The test statistic is as follows:

t=0.371105210.3712=0.371×1030.9286=3.76

Thus, the t-test statistic value is 3.76.

Conclusion:

The value of test statistic is 3.76 and the critical value is 1.659.

Here, t-calculated(=3.76)>t-critical value(=1.659).

By the rejection rule, reject the null hypothesis.

Thus, it can be concluded that there is a positive association between “size of the home” and “selling price”.

Calculation of p-value:

Using excel formula = T.DIST (3.76,103,TRUE)

The p-value of the test is 0.000141.
