With the aim of predicting the selling price of a house in Newburg Park, Florida, from the distance between the house and the beach, we might examine a regression equation relating the two variables. In the table below, the distance from the beach (x, in miles) and selling price (, in thousands of dollars) for each of a sample of sixteen homes sold in Newburg Park in the past year are given. The least-squares regression equation relating the two variables...
With the aim of predicting the selling price of a house in Newburg Park based on the distance the house lies from the beach, we're examining data for houses sold in Newburg Park in the past year.
