What is the generalized R for this model? Comparing to the R2 from part ii, which model would you choose based on goodness-of-fit?Explanation / Answer
Here dependent variable is homes and independent variable is interest rate.
We have given the regression output.
The regression equation is,
ln (homes) = 6.696 - 0.0043*irate
Intercept = 6.696
Slope= -0.0043
Interpretation of slope : For one unit change in interest rates will be 0.0043 unit decrease in natural logarithm of homes.
iv) Now we have to predict homes when irates =5
ln (homes) = 6.696 - 0.0043*5 = 6.6745
v) Here we have to find 95% confidence interval for B is (6.63, 6.72).
vi) R-sq = 0.000191
It expresese the proportion of variation in response variable which is expressed by variation in independent variable.
Now we see that interest rate is insignificant variable because P-value for irate is 0.8388.
P-value > alpha
Therefore irate is insignificant variable.
