Question 2

You are interested in examining the factors that determine the average length of stay by patients in hospitals across states.
 
  You collect data on the following variables:Y = statewide average hospital stayX1 = median state incomeX2 = 1 if the state is in the Northeast, 0 otherwiseX3 = 1 if the state is in the South, 0 otherwiseX4 = 1 the state is in the Midwest, 0 otherwiseX5 = 1 the state is in the West, 0 otherwiseBased on the data above, you run the following regression: Y = 0 + 1X1 + 2X2 + 3X3 + 4X4.Identify the length of stay for each of the four regions using the population slopes.
