Question
Show all work, calculations, and formulas and be sure to include all the calculations/steps needed to calculate the means, standard deviations, correlation coefficient, slope, y-intercept, and the coefficient of determination. Round to three decimal places.
2. In a recent study, economists from Pennsylvania State University performed a simple linear regression model using the least squares principle to determine if there was a relationship between annual taxes and the average price of a home. Their results are compiled below.

Explanation / Answer
a) Regression equation:
Price = 326072.15 + 1.09107 (Tax)
b) For Tax = 3600,
Price = 326072.15 + 1.09107 (3600)
Price = $330000
c) Coefficient of determination = r2 = SSR/ SST = 11984585 / 15629579 = 0.7668
It indicates that 76.68% of variation in prices can be explained by tax charged.
