detroit 823 626

minneapolis 953 776

a. develop a scatter chart for these data, treating the average asking rent as the independent variable. does a simple linear regression model appear to be appropriate?
b. use a simple linear regression model to develop an estimated regression equation to predict the monthly mortgage on the median priced home given the average asking rent. construct a plot of the residuals against the independent variable rent. based on this residual plot, does a simple linear regression model appear to be appropriate?
c. using a quadratic regression model, develop an estimated regression equation to predict the monthly mortgage on the median-priced home, given the average asking rent.
d. do you prefer the estimated regression equation developed in part a or part c? create a plot of the linear and quadratic regression lines overlaid on the scatter chart of the monthly mortgage on the median-priced home and the average asking rent to you assess the two regression equations. explain your conclusions
