A website that rents movies online recorded the age and the number of movies rented during the past month for some of their customers. The data are shown below for a random sample of 25 of their customers.The regression line for the data, with number of movie rentals as the response variable, provides an intercept = 18.87, and slope = -0.228. The standard error of the slope SE(b1) = 0.0827. Margin of error ME for a 99% Confidence Interval for the slope of the Population regression line is: 0.1161 0.2322 0.4644 0.3483

You are interested in the effect rainfall has on the number of traffic accidents in your city. You consider 4 possible specifications for a polynomial regression: (1) Accidents = 15.2 +0.23°Rain - 0.11*Rain2 + 0.08 Rain3 -0.0s Rain (7.1) (0.13) (0.05) (0.03) (0.02) (2) Accidents = 13.2 +0.14*Rain -0.09 Rain?+0.07 Rain3 (5.1) (0.05) (0.03) (0.04) (3) Accidents= 75+0.24*Rain - 0.13 Rain2 (3.6) (0.12) (0.07) (4) Accidents = 94 +0.18°Rain (2.3) (0.05) Based on a 5% significance level, which of the 4 specifications is the most appropriate model? O Specification1 O Specification 2 O Specification 3 O Specification 4 O None of them since Rain does not have a statistically significant effect on Accidents

Regression analysis was applied between $ sales (y) and $ advertising (r) across all the branches of a major international corporation. The following regression function was obtained. ŷ = 5000 + 7.25r (a) Predict the amount for sales where the advertising amount is $ 1,000,000.00. (b) If the advertising budgets of two branches of the corporation differ by $30,000, then what will be the predicted difference in their sales?
You have noticed that paying higher wages attracts more productive employees. However, you are concerned that there may be a limit to this relationship. Some experimentation has convinced you that the relationship between wages paid (x) and profits can be modelled by the equation Profit = 25x − 0.1x2 + 200. Use a Nonlinear Solver tool to determine the level of wages that will maximize profits.
A large school district is reevaluating its teachers' salaries. They have decided to use regression analysis to predict mean teacher salaries at each elementary school. The research has come up with the following prediction equation: Y = $18012.24 + 1432.37X1 - 4.07 X2 where X1 = Yrs Exp and X2 = Yrs Exp2 (a) If a teacher has 7 years of experience, what is the expected salary? (b) If teacher has 10 years of experience, what is the expected salary?

As an auto insurance risk analyst, it is your job to research risk profiles for various types of drivers. One common area of concern for auto insurance companies is the risk involved when offering policies to younger, less experienced drivers. The U.S. Department of Transportation recently conducted a study in which it analyzed the relationship between 1) the number of fatal accidents per 1000 licenses, and 2) the percentage of licensed drivers under the age of 21 in a sample of 42 cities. Your first step in the analysis is to construct a scatterplot of the data. FIGURE.

After a linear pattern has been established visually, you now proceed with performing linear…

The regression equation Netincome = 2,049 +.0478 Revenue was estimated from a sample of 100 leading world companies (variables are in millions of dollars). (0-1) If Revenue = 1, then Netincome = (a-2) Choose the correct statement. (b) Choose the right option. (c) O Increasing the revenue raises the net income. Decreasing the revenue raises the net income. O Increasing the revenue lowers the net income. million. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) O The intercept is not meaningful because a firm cannot have net income when revenue is zero. The intercept is meaningful because a firm can have net income when revenue is zero. If Revenue = 24,574, then NetIncome = million. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
