2. Decker is a maker of small kitchen appliances. Its economists estimated the following demand for toaster oven using data gathered over 16 quarters from 10 major retail distributors of its product. This type of sample which involves the use of cross-sectional and time series data is referred to as a pooled sample. On the basis of this pooled sample of 160 observations, the economist estimated the following linear equation. (See the attached file)
