Use multiple regression to estimate the demand function for widgets. Is this a good equation overall? (Why) Which variables are significant? (Why) Are widgets normal goods or inferior goods? Are Zuggies substitutes for, complements to, Widgets? If you were contemplating entering a new region (16) where median income is $35 (thousand), Zuggies are selling for $14, and you plan to match Zuggie's price by also charging $14, how many Widgets do you estimate will be sold in region 16? (Note: you should be able to copy and paste the table above directly into an excel spread sheet.)
