where y = Bo + B₁x₁ + ₂x₂ + 3x3 + E X₁ = number of competitors within one mile X₂ = population within one mile (1,000s) 1 if drive-up window present 0 otherwise y = sales ($1,000s). The following estimated regression equation was developed after 20 outlets were surveyed. ŷ = 10.9 - 4.2x₁ + 6.8x₂ + 15.9x3 (a) What is the expected amount of sales (in dollars) attributable to the drive-up window? $ 15900 X3 =

Data from 147 colleges from 1995 to 2005 (Lee,2008) were tested to predict the endowments (in billions) to a college from the average SAT score of students attending the college. The resulting regression equation was Y = -20.46 + 4.06 (X). This regression indicates that: a. for every one-point increase in SAT scores, a college can expect 4.06 billion more in endowments. b. most colleges have very high endowments. c. for every one-point increase in SAT scores, a college can expect 20.46 billion fewer in endowments. d. for every one-dollar increase in endowments, the college can expect a half-point increase in SAT scores.

The managing director of a consulting group has the accompanying monthly data on total overhead costs and professional labor hours to bill to clients. Complete parts a through c Click the icon to view the monthly data. a. Develop a simple linear regression model between billable hours and overhead costs. Overhead Costs = 247733.3 +(43.2000) x Billable Hours (Round the constant to one decimal place as needed. Round the coefficient to four decimal places as needed. Do not include the $ symbol in your answers.) b. Interpret the coefficients of your regression model. Specifically, what does the fixed component of the model mean to the consulting firm? Interpret the fixed term, bo. if appropriate. Choose the correct answer below. OA. The value of by is the predicted overhead costs for 0 billable hours. OB. For each increase of 1 unit in overhead costs, the predicted billable hours are estimated to increase by bo OC. It is not appropriate to interpret by. because its value is the predicted…

The following estimated regression equation has been proposed to predict daily sales at a furniture store. ŷ = 12 − 5x1 + 8x2 + 17x3 where ŷ = estimated sales (in $1,000s) x1 = competitor's previous day's sales (in $1,000s) x2 = population within 1 mile (in 1,000s) x3 = 1 if any form of advertising was used; 0 otherwise (a) Fully interpret the meaning of the b3 coefficient (Give the answer in dollars.) Predict sales (in dollars) for the store with competitor's previous day's sale of $4,000, a population of 11,000 within 1 mile, and ... (b) no radio advertisements. $ (c) one radio advertisement. $ (d) eight radio advertisements. $

A particular article used a multiple regression model to relate y = yield of hops to x, = average temperature (°C) between date of coming into hop and date of picking and x, = average percentage of sunshine during the same period. The model equation proposed is the following. y = 415.11 – 6.6x1 – 4.50x2 +e (a) Suppose that this equation describes the actual relationship. What mean yield corresponds to a temperature of 20 and a sunshine percentage of 40? (b) What is the mean yield when the average temperature and average percentage of sunshine are 19 and 44, respectively?

The volume (in cubic feet) of a black cherry tree can be modeled by the equation y = - 50.8 + 0.3x, +4.5x,, where x, is the tree's height (in feet) and x, is the tree's diameter (in inches). Use the multiple regression equation to predict the y-values for the values of the independent variables. x, = 70, x, = 8.6 The predicted volume is cubic feet. (Round to one decimal place as needed.)

A particular article used a multiple regression model to relate y = yield of hops to x₁ = mean temperature (°C) between date of coming into hop and date of picking and x₂ = mean percentage of sunshine during the same period. The model equation proposed is the following. y = 415.116.6x₁4.50x2+e (a) Suppose that this equation does indeed describe the true relationship. What mean yield corresponds to a temperature of 20 and a sunshine percentage of 39? (b) What is the mean yield when the mean temperature and percentage of sunshine are 19.1 and 42, respectively? You may need to use the appropriate table in Appendix A to answer this question.

In a fisheries researchers experiment the correlation between the number of eggs in tge nest and the number of viable (surviving ) eggs for a sample of nests is r=0.67  the equation of the regression line for number of viable eggs y versus number of eggs in the nest x is y =0.72x + 17.07 for a nest with 140 eggs what is the predicted number of viable eggs ?

The police chief believes that maintenance costs on high-mileage police vehicles are much higher than those costs for low-mileage vehicles.  If high-mileage vehicles are costing too much, it may be more economical to purchase more vehicles.  An analyst in the department regresses yearly maintenance costs (Y) for a sample of 200 police vehicles on each vehicle’s total mileage for the year (X). The regression equation finds: Y = $50 + .030X with a r2 of .90 If a vehicle’s mileage for the year is 50,000, what is its predicted maintenance costs? What does an r2 of .90 tell us? Is this a strong or weak correlation? How can you tell?

The following equation describes the relationship between output and labor input at a sample of work stations in a manufacturing plant ŷ = 2.35+2.20X. Suppose, for a selected workstation, the labor input is 5, the predicted output is?
