The following question refers to this regression equation. (Standard errors in parentheses)

Qd= 15 - 10 P + 1.5 Adv + 0.4 Px + 2 I

(5.23) (2.29) (0.525) (1.75) (1.5)

R^2 = 0.65

N = 120

F = 35.25

Standard error of Y estimate = 0.565

Qd = Quantity demanded

Consider the case when:

P = Price = 7

Adv = Advertising expense = 54

Px = price of competitor's good = 8

I = average monthly income = 4
