A researcher wants to develop a model to predict the taxes of houses, based on assessed value. A sample of 30 single-family houses listed for sale in a particular region is selected. The taxes (in $) and the assessed value of the houses (in $thousands) are recorded, with the accompanying results. Complete parts (a) through (g) below. Click the icon to view the house data. Determine the regression coefficients bo and b₁. ¡ = 861.361 + (8.467) X₁ (Round to three decimal places as needed. Do not include the $ symbol in your answers.) b. Interpret the meaning of the Y-intercept, bo, and the slope, b₁, in this problem. Interpret the Y-intercept, if appropriate. Choose the correct answer below. A. It is not appropriate to interpret the Y-intercept because it is outside the range of observed taxes. B. It is not appropriate to interpret the Y-intercept because a house cannot have an assessed value of $0. C. The Y-intercept indicates the predicted assessed value for a house with $0 in taxes. D. It is not appropriate to interpret the Y-intercept because it is outside the range of observed assessed values. E. It is not appropriate to interpret the Y-intercept because a house cannot have $0 in taxes. F. The Y-intercept indicates the predicted taxes for a house with an assessed value of $0.
