Model C: Price = β₀ + β₁Size + β₂Age + β₃ Loc1 + β₄ Loc2 +ε
where,
Price = the price of a home (in $1,000s)
Size = the square footage (in sq.feet)
Loc1 = a dummy variable taking on 1 for Location 1,and 0 otherwise
Loc2 = a dummy variable taking on 1 for Location 2,and 0 otherwise
After collecting data on 52 sales and applying regression,her findings were summarized in the following table. Note: The values of relevant test statistics are shown in parentheses below the estimated coefficients.
