A collector of grandfather clocks believes that the price received for the clocks at an auction increases with the number of bidders, but at an increasing (rather than a constant) rate. Thus, the model proposed to best explain auction price (y, in dollars) by number of bidders (x) is the quadratic model

E(y) = β0 + β1x + β2x2


This model was fit to data collected for a sample of 32 clocks sold at auction; the resulting estimate of  β1 was -.31.
Interpret this estimate of β1.
◦ β1 is a shift parameter that has no practical interpretation.
◦ We estimate the auction price will increase $.31 for each additional bidder at the auction.
◦ We estimate the auction price will be -$.31 when there are no bidders at the auction.
◦ We estimate the auction price will decrease $.31 for each additional bidder at the auction.
