The following data represent the living area x in 100 square
     The following data represent the living area x (in 100 square ft), and the selling price Y (in $100) for a sample of 15 houses from a new subdivision in a town. For example, the selling price of the house 1 with 2,790 ft^2 is $457,200.  For these data, x = 25.74. and (n - 1)sx^2 = 41.06.  Construct a scatter plot and explain the relationship between Y and X.  Write the fitted model and the value of r^2.  On the basis of r^2, can we say that the model is well fitted? Explain.  interpret the meanings of b in the context of the problem.  Predict the selling price of a house in the neighborhood with the living area of 2,700 squareroot feet (i.e., x^*  = 27).  By comparing the above predicted price (in part e) with the prices of the House 3 (2,750 ft^2) and House 15 (2.666 ft^2), can we say that the predicted price is reasonable? Explain.  Find a 95% prediction interval of a house in the neighborhood with the living area of 2,700 squareroot feet.  Find, 95% confidence interval for the mean price of all houses in the subdivision with the living area of 2,700 ft^2 and interpret its meanings.  Y^  = a + bx^  , PI: Y^  plusminus tn-2; 1-a/2Se squareroot 1 + 1/n + (x^  - x)^2/(n - 1)Sx^2; CI: Y^  plusminus tn-2; 1-a/2Se squareroot 1 + 1/n + (x^  - x)^2/(n - 1)Sx^2
