The following questions refer to this regression equation. (Standard errors in parentheses.)
QD = 15,000 - 10 P + 1500 A + 4 PX + 2 I, (5,234) (2.29) (525) (1.75) (1.5)
R2 = 0.65
N = 120
F = 35.25
Standard error of Y estimate = 565
Q = Quantity demanded
P = Price = 7,000
A = Advertising expense, in thousands = 54
PX = price of competitor's product = 8,000
I = average monthly income =4,000
2) How is the R2 value calculated, and what information does this give you?
3) When would you use a one-tailed rather than a two-tailed t-test when checking significance levels?
4) What is multicollinearity? In general, how would you know if you had a problem with multicollinearity, and how could you correct it?
7) Explain the difference between Cross-Section and Time-Series Regression Analysis.

One of the two most important statistics (the other is the residual standard deviation) for assessing how well regression succeeds in estimating/predicting the response. R-square has two important interpretations:
1) R-square = square of correlation between the response and the predictor. This is the same as the square of the correlation between the response and the FITs Thus, the larger R-square, the more closely the FITs correspond to the ACTUALs. If R-square = 1, then the FITs equal the ACTUALs, and all of the data points lie exactly on the regression line, and all of the residuals are 0, and s = 0. If R-square = 0, then the regression line is a horizontal line with slope = 0 and intercept = mean of Y. And if the regression line is horizontal, then the estimated value of Y (the FIT) is the same for any X (namely, FIT = mean of Y), so the estimated Y does not depend on X (b/c the estimate is the same for all X), so X offers us no information about Y - i.e., Y and X are ...
