Suppose that a regional express delivery service company wants to estimate the cost of shipping a package (Y) as a function of cargo type, where cargo type includes the following possibilities: fragile, semifragile, and durable. Costs for 15 randomly chosen packages of approximately the same weight and same distance shipped, but of different cargo types, are provided in the file P13_16.xlsx. a. Estimate a regression equation using the given sample data, and interpret the estimated regression coefficients. b. According to the estimated regression equation, which cargo type is the most costly to ship? Which cargo type is the least costly to ship? c. How well does the estimated equation fit the given sample data? How might the fit be improved? d. Given the estimated regression equation, predict the cost of shipping a package with semifragile cargo.
The management of a technology company is trying to determine the variable that best explains the variation of employee salaries using a sample of 52 full-time employees; see the file P13_08.xlsx. Estimate simple linear regression equations to identify which of the following has the strongest linear relationship with annual salary: the employees gender, age, number of years of relevant work experience prior to employment at the company, number of years of employment at the company, or number of years of post secondary education. Provide support for your conclusion.

A careful analysis of the cost of operating an automobile was conducted by accounting manager Dia Bandaly. The following model was developed: y = 3,600+ 0.16x, where y is the annual cost and x is the miles driven. a) If the car is driven 15,000 miles this year, the forecasted cost of operating this automobile = $ b) If the car is driven 26,000 miles this year, the forecasted cost of operating this automobile = $ (enter your response as a whole number).

In a research study, a linear regression analysis was performed to investigate the relationship between the size of a household (number of family members) and their monthly grocery expenses (in dollars). The linear model obtained is Y=200+150X Where: Y represents the predicted monthly grocery expenses and X represents the size of the household (number of family members). Interpret the slope in context, including the numeric value of the slope and the units of both X and Y. For the toolbar, press ALT+F10 (PC) or ALT+FN+F10 (Mac).

A company hires you to develop a linear regression forecasting model. Based on the company's historical sales information, you determine the intercept value of the model to be 1,500. You also find the slope value is -25. If after developing the model you are given a value of X = 8, which of the following is the resulting forecast error using this model if the actual sales is 1250?
a. Develop a simple linear regression equation to forecast annual sales. For this regression, the dependent variable, Y, is the demand in each year and the independent variable, X, is the index for the year

The following table shows the number of televisions sold over the last ten years at a local electronic store. Year TV Sales 1 150 2 300 3 480 4 600 5 630 6 640 7 700 8 825 9 900 10 980 i. Using trend projection, develop a formula to predict sales for years 11 and 12. You have to show all working. You will need to develop a table to calculate the slope and the intercept. ii. Use that formula to forecast television sales for years 11 and 12.
