Multiple Choice

Assume you ran a multiple regression to gain a better understanding of the relationship between lumber sales,housing starts,and commercial construction.The regression uses lumber sales (in $100,000s) as the response variable with housing starts (in 1000s) (in 1,000s) and commercial construction (in 1000s) (in 1,000s) as the explanatory variables.The estimated model is Lumber Sales = β₀ + β₁ Housing Starts + β₂Commercial Constructions + ε.The following ANOVA table summarizes a portion of the regression results. If Housing Starts were 17,000 and Commercial Construction was 3,200,the best estimate of Lumber Sales would be ______________.

• A) $16,920,000
• B) $16,925,370
• C) $22,014,000
