The estimated equation has a Y-intercept of 10.50 and a slope of -0.24. The slope can be interpreted as a. The average mortgage interest rate set by commercial lending institutes is predicted to fall by 0.24% per year, on average. b.

You have a data set consisting of the sales prices of houses in your neighborhood, with each sale time-stamped by the month and year in which the house sold. You want to predict the average value of houses in your neighborhood over time, so you fit a simple regression model with average house price as the output and the time index (in months) as the input. Based on 10 months of data, the estimated intercept is $4569 and the estimated slope is 143 ($/month). If you extrapolate this trend forward in time, at which time index (in months) do you predict that your neighborhood's value will have doubled relative to the value at month (index) 10?Please enter a number below, round to the nearest month.
