Part A
Beds: The estimated coefficient for Beds is 225.80998. This indicates that, holding Baths and
Sqft constant, a one-unit increase in the number of Beds is associated with an increase of
Baths: The estimated coefficient for Baths is 89.26613. This suggests that, holding Beds and Sqft
constant, a one-unit increase in the number of Baths is associated with an increase of $89.26613
in monthly rent.
Sqft: The estimated coefficient for Sqft is 0.20957. This indicates that, holding Beds and Baths
constant, a one-unit increase in Sqft is associated with an increase of $0.20957 in monthly rent.
The intercept is 300.41160. This means that the standard rent before incorporating the three
From the output, we can see that the p-value for Beds is 0.000634, the p-value for Baths is
0.119466, and the p-value for Sqft is 0.027582. The p-values for beds and Sqft are less than 0.05
meaning these two variables are statistically significant. The p-value for baths, however, implies
statistical insignificance.
Part B
Beds: The estimated coefficient for Beds is 324.23772. This indicates that a one-unit increase in
Baths: The estimated coefficient for Baths is 34.32566. This suggests that a one-unit increase in
Sqft: The estimated coefficient for Sqft is 10.4253. This indicates that a one-unit increase in Sqft
Beds:Sqft: The estimated coefficient for Sqft is -0.16784. This indicates that a one-unit increase
From the output, we can see that the p-value for Beds is 0.000000293, the p-value for Baths is
0.453, the p-value for Sqft is 0.00000229, and the p-value for Beds:Sqft is 0.0000226. The p-
values for beds, Sqft, and Beds:Sqft are less than 0.05 meaning these three variables are
statistically significant. The p-value for baths, however, implies statistical insignificance.
Part C
Beds: The estimated coefficient for Beds is 0.0262. This indicates that, holding Baths and Sqft
constant, a one-unit increase in the number of Beds is associated with an increase of $0.0262 in
monthly rent.
Baths: The estimated coefficient for Baths is 0.008313. This suggests that, holding Beds and Sqft
constant, a one-unit increase in the number of Baths is associated with an increase of $0.008313
in monthly rent.
Sqft: The estimated coefficient for Sqft is 0.00006448. This indicates that, holding Beds and
monthly rent.
From the output, we can see that the p-value for Beds is 0.0000205, the p-value for Baths is
0.0602, and the p-value for Sqft is 0.3622. The p-values for beds is less than 0.05 meaning the
variable is statistically significant. The p-value for baths and SqFt, however, imply statistical
insignificance.

Part E
The predicted value for the monthly rent is 1492.834. This implies that as the number of baths
