In Hawaii, proceedings are under way to enable private citizens to own the property that their homes are built on. In prior years, only estates were permitted to own land, and homeowners leased the land from the estate. In order to comply with the new law, a large Hawaiian estate wants to use regression analysis to estimate the fair market value of the land. The following variables are proposed:
y = Sale price of property ($ thousands)
x2 = 1 if property near Cove, 0 if not
Write a regression model relating the sale price of a property to the qualitative variable x. Interpret all the βs in the model.
