Data on sale prices (y) and total appraised values (x) of 92 residential properties sold in 1999 in an upscale Tampa, FL neighborhood are located in the "tampalms" worksheet. Both values are in thousands of dollars. 4. a) b) c) d) Calculate and interpret the correlation between x and y Find the least squares estimates of the slope and intercept using R. Interpret the slope of the least squares line. Interpret the intercept of the least squares line. Does it have a practical meaning for this application? Explain e) Conduct a test of model utility using a -.05. f) Use the least-squares model to estimate the mean sale price of a property appraised at S300,000.

Explanation / Answer

a)

r = 0.97228

there is strong positive correlation between two variables

b)

first export the excel file

suppose y = sale price and x = appraised value

model = lm (y~x)

summary(model)

slope = 1.068725

intercept = 20.94193

c ) when we increased appraised value by 1 unit , then on average sale price increase by 1.0687 units

d)

when appraised value = 0 , then sale price = 20.94

no, it does not have practical meaning

e)

p-value = 1.35 * 10^(-58) <<< 0.05

hence the model is significant

f)

y^ = 20.94193415 + 1.068725111*x

y^ = 20.94193415 + 1.068725111*300

= 341.55946745

hence

341559.46745 $
