Question 3: Two people present you with fits of their simple regression model for predicting house prices from square feet. You discover that the estimated intercept and slopes are exactly the same. This necessarily implies that these two people fit their models on exactly the same data set.

[expand title=View Answer] False[/expand]

Question 4: 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?
