(a) Suppose a homeowner adds a new bathroom to her house, which increases the size of the house by 100 square feet. What is the expected increase in the value of the house (b) Is the coefficient corresponding to BDR statistically different from zero? (c) Typically, five-bedroom houses sell for much more than two-bedroom houses. Is this consistent with your answer to (a) and with the regression more generally? (d) Lot size is measured in square feet. Do you think that another scale might be more appropriate? Why or why not? (e) The F-statistic for omitting BDR and Age from the regression is F = 0.08. Are the coefficients on BDR and Age statistically different from 0 at a 10% significance level?
