House price y is estimated as a function of the square footage of a house x and a dummy variable d that equals 1 if the house has ocean views. The estimated house price, measured in $1,000s, is given by y

y^ = 115.10 + 0.18x + 55.10d.

a-1. Compute the predicted price (in $1,000s) of a house with ocean views and square footage of 1,900. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 2 decimal places.)

a-2. Compute the predicted price (in $1,000s) of a house with ocean views and square footage of 2,900. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 2 decimal places.)

b-1. Compute the predicted price (in $1,000s) of a house without ocean views and square footage of 1,900. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 2 decimal places.)

b-2. Compute the predicted price (in $1,000s) of a house without ocean views and square footage of 2,900. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 2 decimal places.)

a-1. Compute the predicted price (in $1,000s) of a house with ocean views and square footage of 1,900

Answer

y^ = 115.10 + 0.18x + 55.10d.

y^ = 115.10 + 0.18(1900) + 55.10(1)

y^ = 512.2

y^ = $ 512200

 

a-2. Compute the predicted price (in $1,000s) of a house with ocean views and square footage of 2,900

Answer

y^ = 115.10 + 0.18x + 55.10d.

y^ = 115.10 + 0.18(2900) + 55.10(1)

y^ = 692.2

y^ = $ 692200

 

b-1. Compute the predicted price (in $1,000s) of a house without ocean views and square footage of 1,900

Answer

y^ = 115.10 + 0.18x + 55.10d.

y^ = 115.10 + 0.18(1900) + 55.10(0)

y^ = 457.1

y^ = $ 457100

 

b-2. Compute the predicted price (in $1,000s) of a house without ocean views and square footage of 2,900.

Answer

y^ = 115.10 + 0.18x + 55.10d.

y^ = 115.10 + 0.18(2900) + 55.10(0)

y^ = 637.1

y^ = $ 637100
