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.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
