Question

You are a new hire at Laurel Woods Real Estate which specializes in selling foreclosed homes via public auction. Your boss has asked you to use the following data (mortgage balance, monthly payments, payments made before default, and final auction price) on a random sample of recent sales in order to estimate what the actual auction price will be. Add a new variable that describes the potential interaction between the loan amount and the number of payments made.

Determine the regression equation. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places. Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign.)

  Auction Price = + Loan + Monthly Payment +
   Payments Made + X1X3

Complete the following table. (Round your answers to 3 decimal places. Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required. Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign.)

Compute the t-value corresponding to the interaction term. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign.)

. So we conclude there is .

Explanation / Answer

Regression Equation

auction price = -143877 + 1.73954 Loan + 14.3786 Monthly Payments + 1506.57
payments made - 0.013857 Loan*payments made

Loan*payments made -0 0.0 -0.99625 0.335

the t-value corresponding to the interaction term=-1 (rounded to 2 decimal places)

here the anova output is as follows
