Which of the following is the regression equation for this data?

• Price^ = 87.3180 - 19.4(Area)

• Price^ = -19.4 + 0.1297(Area)

• Area^ = -19.4 + 0.1297(Price)

• Price^ = 0.1297 - 19.4(Area)

Which of these is the best interpretation of the number 87.3180?

• The average distance between the price of a house and the mean price of all of the houses is about $87,318.
