Interpretation for the regression coefficient

Reference no: EM1376299

Chez Henri is a restaurant chain that operates in forty different cities. It employed an economist to determine the factors affecting the demand for its sales. The following equation was estimated using cross sectional data from each of its 40 restaurants.

Y : Annual restaurant sales (in thousands)
X1 : Disposable per capital income (in thousands) of the residents living within 5 miles of a restaurant
X2 : Population (in thousands) within a 5-mile radius of a restaurant
X3 : Number of competing restaurants within a 5-mile radius

The following information was obtained from the regression analysis:Multiple
R: 0.92
R-Square: 0.85
Std. Error of Est.: 0.40

a. Give the estimated demand equation for predicting restaurant sales.
b. Provide an interpretation for each of the regression coefficients.
c. Which of the coefficients are statistically significant and which are not? Explain.
