Hanna Properties specializes in custom-home resales in the Equestrian Estates, an exclusive subdivision in Phoenix, Arizona. A random sample of nine custom homes currently listed for sale provided the following information on size and price. Here, x denotes size, in hundreds of square feet, rounded to the nearest hundred, and y denotes price, in thousands of dollars, rounded to the nearest thousand.
x= 26,27,33,29,29,34,30,40,22
y= 290,305,325,327,356,411,488,554,246
Now we want to build the linear regression model,
*With the information provided above please answer the followin questions:
1. Do the data suggest that size is useful as a predictor if price for custom homes in the Equestrain Estates? Perform the required hypothesis at the 0.01 level of significance.
2. a. Find a 99% confidence interval for the slope of the population regression line that relates price to size for custom homes in the Equestraion Estates.
