A realtor is trying to predict the selling price of houses in Greenville (in thousands of dollars) as a function of size (measured in thousands of square feet) and whether or not there is a fireplace (FP is 0 if there is no fireplace, 1 if there is a fireplace). Part of the regression output is provided below based on a sample of 20 homes. Some of the information has been omitted.


Variable Coefficients Standard Error t-Stat

Intercept 128.93746 2.6205302 49.203

Size 1.2072436 11.439

FP 6.47601954 1.9803612 3.27

a. The estimated coefficient for size is approximately _____.


b. How many predictors (independent variables) were used in the regression?

Answer:

a. The estimated coefficient for size is approximately 13.81.

b. In the regression, two predictors are used. These two predictors are size and fireplace (FP).

Explanation:

a. The estimated coefficient for size is approximately _____.

Estimated coefficient for size = Standard Error of size * t-Stat of size =  1.2072436 * 11.439 = 13.81

Therefore, the estimated coefficient for size is approximately 13.81.

b. How many predictors (independent variables) were used in the regression?

Independent variables can be described as variables that are changed or manipulated in order to measure the effect of their changes on the dependent variable. Independent variables are therefore also called predictors because they employed to predict the dependent variable.

In the regression, two predictors are used. These two predictors are size and fireplace (FP).

Shady lawyer. Brice had a number of ethical issues come up in law school involving alleged cheating but managed to graduate because nothing was ever proven. Upon obtaining his law license, Brice enjoyed living "on the edge" and engaged in tactics that were at least questionable. One of his clients was an older gentleman, Sam, with significant assets and significant legal issues involving a messy divorce stemming from his involvement with a local dog groomer, Susie. Brice told Sam that he felt certain that he could arrange matters so that Sam could live happily in the Caribbean with Susie but that, in addition to paying a hefty legal fee, Sam would need to name Brice as a significant beneficiary in his will and give Brice power of attorney over his assets. Sam agreed to do so. He gave Brice power of attorney and changed his will to reflect that upon his death, Brice would receive half his estate. The other half went to Susie. Sam also paid the hefty legal fee Brice demanded. At that point, Brice agreed to proceed with negotiations in the divorce. Shortly after the divorce, Sam had an unexpected heart attack and died immediately. Susie, the executor of the will, told Brice that she was reporting him to the state bar association and that he was not entitled to any assets from the estate. Brice told Susie that he knew that Susie had failed to pay income tax for all her dog grooming and that he was reporting her unless she kept her mouth shut and consented to the terms of the contract. Brice also said that in return for keeping his mouth shut, he wanted additional sums purportedly for his work on Sam's divorce. Assuming that Sam had paid all amounts validly due from the divorce proceeding, which of the following is true regarding Brice's attempt to obtain additional fees?
A. Brice has caused Susie to experience duress.
B. Brice has unduly influenced Susie.
C. Brice has caused Susie to experience duress and unduly influenced Susie.
D. Brice has committed intentional wrongful disclosure.
E. Brice is not guilty of anything, so long as he used no physical force to obtain Susie's agreement.
