Multiple Choice

TABLE 15-2
In Hawaii, condemnation proceedings are under way to enable private citizens to own the property that their homes are built on. Until recently, only estates were permitted to own land, and homeowners leased the land from the estate. In order to comply with the new law, a large Hawaiian estate wants to use regression analysis to estimate the fair market value of the land. The following model was fit to data collected for n = 20 properties, 10 of which are located near a cove.
Using the data collected for the 20 properties, the following partial output obtained from Microsoft Excel is shown:
