b The standard error of estimate is s ε = 40.13. It is an estimate of the standard deviation of the error
variable.

c The coefficient of determination is R = 0.8935; 89.35% of the variation in monthly sales of drywall
is explained by the model.

d H0: β1 = β2 = β3 = β4 = 0

H1: At least one β i is not equal to zero

F = 39.86, p-value = 0. There is enough evidence to conclude that the model is valid.

e b1 = 4.76; for each addition building permit monthly sales on average increase by 4.76 hundred
sheets provided that the other variables remain constant.

b2 = 16.99; for each addition one point increase in mortgage rates monthly sales on average increase

by 16.99 hundred sheets provided that the other variables remain constant.

b3 = –10.53; for each one percentage point increase in the apartment vacancy rate monthly sales

decrease on average by 10.53 hundred sheets provided that the other variables remain constant.
b 4 = 1.31; for each one percentage point increase in the office vacancy rate monthly sales increase

on average by 1.31 hundred sheets provided that the other variables remain constant.

f H 0 : β i= 0

H 1 : βi ¿ 0

Permits: t = 12.06, p-value = 0

Mortgage: t = 1.12, p-value = 0.2764

A Vacancy: t = –1.65, p-value = 0.1161

O Vacancy: t = 0.47, p-value = 0.6446

Only the number of building permits is linearly related to monthly sales.

Next month’s drywall sales are predicted to lie between 16,710 and 35,290 sheets.

A

b b1 = 0.666; for each additional minor league home run the number of major league home runs
increases on average by 0.666 provided that the other variables remain constant.

b2 = 0.136; for each additional year of age the number of major league home runs increases on

average by 0.14 provided that the other variables remain constant.

b3 = 1.18; for each additional year as a professional the number of major league home runs increases

on average by 1.18 provided that the other variables remain constant.

c s ε = 6.99 and R = 0.3511; the model’s fit is not very good.

d H0: β1 = β2 = β3 = 0

H1: At least one β i is not equal to zero

F = 22.01, p-value = 0. There is enough evidence to conclude that the model is valid.

e H 0 : β i= 0

H 1 : βi ¿ 0

Minor league home runs: t = 7.64, p-value = 0

Age: t = 0.26, p-value = 0.7961

Years professional: t = 1.75, p-value = 0.0819


F

At the 5% significance level only the number of minor league home runs is linearly related to the
number of major league home runs.

It is estimated that the average player will hit between 14.66 and 24.47 home runs.
