Suppose Y is household income and he is household expenditures on health care. Use the data from the regression output to answer the given question:

a. Use the regression results to write out the linear equation. Are the parameter estimates statistically significant? What does this imply? How would you interpret the parameter estimates? What does the coefficient of determination (R2) imply?
b. Using the regression output and the appropriate data, forecast health care expenditures for households (id) 16, 17, and 18.
c. Suppose our newly elected President determines that $5000 of annual household spending on health care is necessary to maintain the health of family members in the typical household. What is the income threshold at which it is expected that households would not be meeting this target?
d. Given the actual data used in the regression analysis, and assuming there are 10 additional households earning $0 income, how much would a subsidy total in order for each family to reach the targeted amount?
