A land developer wanted a model to estimate the selling price of beach lots. To do so she recorded for each of 20 beach lots recently sold:

Y = Sale price of the beach lot in $10,000 units

X1 = Area of the lot (in hundreds of square feet)

X2 = elevation of the lot (in feet above sea level)

X3 = Slope of the lot toward the ocean (in degrees)

A statistical regression program generated the following output:

Multiple R:          0.8854

R Squared:          0.7838

Std. Error of Est.: 0.6075
