If the price of a portrait during Month 21 is $10, what would you predict for sales in Month 21?Does there appear to be a problem with auto correlation of the residual? Explain your answer.

Multiple Regression

Let Yt be the sales during month t (in thousands of dollars) for a photography studio. Let Pt be the price charged for the portraits during month t. The data will be in the file named week 4 assignment chapter 12 problem that is attached. Use regression to fit the following model to these data:

Yt = a + b1Yt−1 + b2Pt + et

This equation indicates that last month’s sales and the current month’s price are explanatory variables. The last term, et, is an error term.
