In our class, we looked at photos of motorcycles that were designed by women for women. We also watched the video that highlights the feature of the Volvo YCC concept car that was designed by women for women. 

A few rows from a dataset are shown below. Assume that the house_price represents the price in dollars (ignore the fact that these prices are unrealistic in today’s market) | square_feet| house_price|property_type |location_grade | |———–:|———–:|:————-|:————–| | 2282| 2604|Townhome |A | | 1624| 1103|Townhome |C | | 2189| 2670|Condo |C | | 1737| 1747|House |C | | 1905| 2428|House |A | | 1549| 1456|Townhome |A | The standard deviation of the column house_price has units of and it is the of the variance.

A few rows from a dataset are shown below. This dataset shows some company’s expenditure on product promotion in several areas of the country and the corresponding demand for the product. |Product | Expenditure| Demand| |:——-|———–:|——:| |Y | 376| 475| |Y | 412| 589| |X | 144| 532| |X | 220| 521| |X | 166| 591| |Y | 369| 515| For the above, I built a model with Demand as the response variable and Product and Expenditure as the explanatory variables. I got the following model output. |term | .lwr| .coef| .upr| |:———–|————:|———-:|————:| |(Intercept) | 493.0582505| 505.49608| 517.9339017| |Expenditure | 0.4589472| 0.50854| 0.5581328| |ProductY | -220.7083913| -207.51193| -194.3154729| |ProductZ | -430.7360919| -408.91989| -387.1036962|   Based on the above, write out the the model function (round any numbers up to the next higher whole number).

The figure below shows a point plot annotated with a statistical model. The plot also shows the model function. We have referred to this band as the 95% confidence interval. What exactly does this mean?
