The regional manager of a franchise business is interested in understanding how income in a region affects sales. Below is a regression output for sales ($’000) regressed on the average household income of an area ($’000) Linear Fit Sales = 14.5774 + 2.9048*Income Summary of Fit RSquare 0.9683 RSquare Adj 0.9630 Root Mean Square Error 3.1083 Mean of Response 43.6250 Analysis of Variance Source DF Sum of Squares Mean Square F Ratio Model 1 1771.9048 1771.90 183.3946 Error 6 57.9702 9.66 Pro>F C.

(ii) Interpret the slope of regression (iii) What is the prediction of the value of sales in a region with an average household income of $30,000?

Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the average of a given data set. The mean value is evaluated as the quotient of the sum of all observations by the sample size. The mean, in contrast to a median, is affected by extreme values. Very large or very small values can distract the mean from the center of the data. Arithmetic mean: The most common type of mean is the arithmetic mean. It is evaluated using the formula: μ = 1 N ∑ i = 1 N x i Other types of means are the geometric mean, logarithmic mean, and harmonic mean. Geometric mean: The nth root of the product of n observations from a data set is defined as the geometric mean of the set: G = x 1 x 2 ... x n n Logarithmic mean: The difference of the natural logarithms of the two numbers, divided by the difference between the numbers is the logarithmic mean of the two numbers. The logarithmic mean is used particularly in heat transfer and mass transfer. ln x 2 − ln x 1 x 2 − x 1 Harmonic mean: The inverse of the arithmetic mean of the inverses of all the numbers in a data set is the harmonic mean of the data. 1 1 x 1 + 1 x 2 + ...
