Question

The accompanying table shows a portion of data consisting of the selling price, the age, and the mileage for 20 used sedans.

Determine the sample regression equation that enables us to predict the price of a sedan on the basis of its age and mileage. (Negative values should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Predict the selling price of a six-year-old sedan with 68,000 miles. (Round intermediate calculations to at least 4 decimal places and final answer to 2 decimal places.)

The accompanying table shows a portion of data consisting of the selling price, the age, and the mileage for 20 used sedans.

Explanation / Answer

Using Minitab:

Regression Equation

Selling Price = 21959 - 614 Age - 0.0799 Miles

b)

The slope coefficient of Age is 614.31, which suggests that for every additional year of age, the predicted price of car decreases by $614.31, holding number of miles constant.

c)

Prediction for Selling Price

Regression Equation

Selling Price = 21959 - 614 Age - 0.0799 Miles


Variable Setting
Age             6
Miles       68000
