Question

The following model was fitted to a sample of 30 families in order to explain household milk consumption: y = b0 + b1x1 + b2x2 + Îµ where y = milk consumption, in quarts per week x1 = weekly income, in hundreds of dollars x2 = family size The least squares estimates of the regression parameters were as follows: b0 = -0.025 b1 = 0.052 b2 = 1.14 Predict the weekly milk consumption of a family of four with an income of $600 per week.

          The following model was fitted to a sample of 30 families in order to explain household milk consumption: y = b0 + b1x1 + b2x2 + Îµ
where y = milk consumption, in quarts per week
x1 = weekly income, in hundreds of dollars
x2 = family size

The least squares estimates of the regression parameters were as follows:
b0 = -0.025
b1 = 0.052
b2 = 1.14

Predict the weekly milk consumption of a family of four with an income of $600 per week.

Step 1

The regression equation is: \[ y = b_0 + b_1 x_1 + b_2 x_2 + \varepsilon \] where: \[ b_0 = -0.025 \] \[ b_1 = 0.052 \] \[ b_2 = 1.14 \] Show more…
