Question

The expected number of primary care providers available within an hour drive of a consumer is a linear function of where the consumer lives: Y = 1.2 + 31.5 X1 + 22.8 X2 + 8.3 X3
where X1, X2, and X3 are dummy variables for urban, suburban, and rural areas, respectively (the remote areas category has been omitted). What is the predicted number of primary care providers for each of the types of areas?
