  • Using the ‘Multiple Regression Analysis Tool’ generate a model for your data.

  • Rename the new sheet that was created; call it “Regression Analysis”.

  • Add your name and date to the header of the worksheet.

  •  Adjust the column widths to display the entire contents and print-fit the sheet in landscape orientation.

Understanding the concept

 Use a word processor or a pen and paper to answer the following questions.

  1. If the Real Estate Model you just created can be expressed as ‘Y = m1X1 + m2X2 + b’ where X1=Square Feet, X2=Age, and Y=Price of the Home. What are the values of the coefficients m1, m2 and b? 
  2. Express the model in the form of an equation (use your judgment for the number of decimal places).
  3. If a home in the same locality has 4000 Square Feet of floor space and is 5 Years old, what would your estimate for the Price of the home?
  4. What is the value of the Adjusted R-square? What does it suggest? 
  5. Give an example where you might use the ‘Multiple Regression Technique’ you just used.
