Beachcomer Ltd is a local car dealership that sells used and new vehicles. The manager of the company wants to know how different variables affect the sales of his vehicles. A random sample of yearly data was taken with the view to testing the model. SALES = a+BAGE + yMIL + SENG Where SALES = amount that a vehicle is sold for (000's), AGE = age of vehicle, MIL= the total mileage of the vehicle at the point of sale and ENG = the size of the engine. The sample of data was processed using MINITAB and the following is an extract of the output obtained: The regression equation is ***** Coef StDev t-ratio p-value Predictor Constant 1.7586 0.2525 6.9648 0.0000 AGE 0.2124 0.3175 * 0.5042 MIL -0.7527 0.3586 -2.0991 ** ENG 4.8124 0.6196 7.7664 0.0000…

Can you please answer all of the questions about the information provided. Background Previous studies have demonstrated the short-term efficacy of pharmacotherapy and behavior therapy for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), but no longer-term (ie, >4 months) investigations have compared these 2 treatments or their combination. A 1999 study conducted by MTA Cooperative Group conducted a multisite study designed to evaluate the leading treatments for ADHD. The Study A group of 425 children with ADHD Combined Type, aged 7 to 11 years, were assigned to 14 months of medication management (titration followed by monthly visits); intensive behavioral treatment (parent, school, and child components, with therapist involvement, gradually reduced over time); or the two combined. Outcomes were assessed in multiple domains before and during treatment and at the treatment endpoint (with the combined treatment and medication management groups continuing medication at all assessment…

Resting heart rate varies among different people. Design an experiment and examine whether or not a particular variable (e.g. fitness level, smoking, activity, age, gender) has an effect on heart rate. Begin by making one or more observations. Then formulate a hypothesis that can be tested. Finally, design an experiment to test your hypothesis! You can use yourself and any person you can talk to including family and friends Observations: State one or more observations related to your scientific Observation(s): The Heart rate will change depending on activity Hypothesis: Generate a hypothesis and include a justification for your Hypothesis: Male that are active will have a higher hear rate than females Experiment: Describe your experiment below and state the independent and dependent variables you will be exploring. Explain any specific instructions, e.g. how it will be carried out, how any measurements are to be made, if needed, etc……
well-known multinational FMCG produces more than fifty products and sells them in the market. Out of fifty products one is mineral water for drinking purpose and supplies different size pack bottles in the market. Product manager observed that, during hot days the sale of water is more as compared to the normal days. He started the collection of data of weekly sale of water and the average weekly temperature. Product manager was interested in developing a relationship between sales and temperature; therefore, he discussed and shared the following data with you. sales 75 77 69 63 79 80 77 70 73 87 72 73 80 80 69 84 77 72 74 81 temperature 32 36 31 31 34 29 32 35 28 31 30 31 29 35 36 28 32 33 32 33 Sale is in thousand liters and temperature is in degree Celsius.
