Develop a model to test the hypothesis that location is the most important factor in determing the price of a house. The model should include variables that estimate the value of the home by the home’s characteristics such as the number of rooms or bathrooms; and the neighborhood’s characteristics like noise, traffic, and crime. Provide justification using these variables in the model and evaluate the overall fit of the econometric model to the simple theory that the key pricing factor is location.

If you are performing a break-even analysis for a business and their cost and revenue equations are dependent, explain what this means for the company's profit margins.
A company that focuses on research and development (R&D) is interested in the relationship between profit and some variables that can explain profit variations. They want to predict the profits of some new and exciting projects because some are risky. The predictor variables considered are: RISK which is a company derived metric, R&D which is the research and development costs, REGION (WC, EC and KZN) and average per capita income (INCOME in R1000.00). The analyst decides to estimate the regression function with the following response function. Ý (profit) = bo + b₁XRisk + b₂XR&D + b3Xwc + b4Xec + b5XINC Answer the following questions. 4.1. The analyst considered the fact that the effects of multicollinearity may influence some analytical and visual conclusions. Use the following results to show the process of establishing by using extra sums of squares whether there is that multicollinearity present or not. Explain and interpret in detail. SSR(X) = 2573.72, SSR(X₁) = 2600.7, SSR(X₂|…

Dixie Showtime table shows how weekly gross revenue is dependent on two variables the television and newspaper advertising expenses, is that correct? Discuss by givingthree new examples.
To determine if additional shelf space to the store brand canned vegetables or increasing advertising expenditures would be more effective strategy to expand sales would I use a simple linear model, multiple linear regression or an interaction model? What equation would I use
Provide an example of a business situation for which we may have to estimate a multiple linear regression model. Make sure to indicate the dependent and independent variables of the model. Also, make sure to provide the equations of the true linear model and estimated model.
The manager Concerned about her current customer base, manager Andersen started to think of factors that might affect the attractiveness of an auditing firm. Of course, the service quality provided and the fees charged by the auditor seem two important factors. Next, she decides that the reputation of the auditing firm also needs to be included in the framework as an independent variable. As illustrated by the dramatic effects of recent auditing scandals, reputation seems especially important for large auditors (i.e., auditing firms that are large in size). Finally, manager Andersen also thinks that the proximity of the auditing firm to the customer is another variable to be included as an independent variable. Proximity very likely affects the possibility for the client to personally meet with the auditors on a regular basis and she knows from her own contact with customers that they perceive personal interactions as quite important. Consider the above scenario shown; answer the…

Although natural gas is currently inexpensive and nuclear power currently (and perhaps deservedly) does not have a good reputation, it is possible that more nuclear power plants will be constructed in the future. Table 4 presents data concerning the construction costs of light water reactor (LWR) nuclear power plants. The dependent variable, C, construction cost, is expressed in millions of dollars, adjusted to a 1976 base. Preliminary analysis of the data and economic theory indicate that variation in cost increases as cost increases. This suggests transforming cost by taking its natural logarithm. S Power plant capacity in MWe N Cumulative number of power plants built by the contractor Build a multiple regression model to predict ln(C) by taking S and N or their natural logarithms as the independent variables. Make sure to check for multicollinearity. Use residual analysis and R2 to check your model. State which variables are important in predicting the cost of constructing an…
2. A shoe manufacturer is considering developing a new brand of running shoes. The business problem facing the marketing analyst is to determine which variables should be used to predict durability (i.e., the effect of long-term impact). Two independent variables un- der consideration are X 1 (FOREIMP), a measurement of the forefoot shock-absorbing capability, and X 2 (MIDSOLE), a measurement of the change in impact properties over time. The dependent variable Y is LTIMP, a measure of the shoe's durability after a repeated impact test. Data are collected from a random sample of 15 types of currently manufactured running shoes, with the following results: Standard Variable t Statistic p-Value Coefficients Error 0.06905 Intercept -0.02686 -0.39 0.7034 FOREIMP 0.79116 0.06295 12.57 0.0000 MIDSOLE 0.60484 0.07174 8.43 0.0000 A: state the multiple regression equation b. interpret the meaning of the slopes, b1 and b2 in this problem. c. what conclusions can you reach concerning durability?…
