A marketing consultant created a linear regression model to predict the number of units sold by a client based on the amount of money spent on marketing by the client. Which of the following is the best
graphic to use to evaluate the appropriateness of the model?
Professional basketball has truly become a sport that generates interest among fans around the world. More and more players come from outside the United States to play in the National Basketball Association (NBA). You want to develop a regression model to predict the number of wins achieved by each NBA team, based on field goal (shots made) percentage and three-point field goal percentage. The data are stored in NBA.xlsx .

The regression has an = 87.7%. Write a sentence summarizing what says about this regression. The age of the motorcycle explains 12.3% of the variation in price. The age of the motorcycle explains 9.36% of the variation in price. The age of the motorcycle explains 87.7% of the variation in price. The price of the motorcycle explains 12.3% of the variation in age. The price of the motorcycle explains 87.7% of the variation in age.arrow_forwardThe regression line always gives an exact model for data. true or falsearrow_forward
- Find the degrees of freedom in a regression model with an intercept term that has 88 observations and 7 explanatory variables.arrow_forwardA financial website reported the beta value for a certain company was 0.86. Betas for individual stocks are determined by simple linear regression. The dependent variable is the total return for the stock, and the independent variable is the total return for the stock market, such as the return of a market index. The slope of this regression equation is referred to as the stock's beta. Many financial analysts prefer to measure the risk of a stock by computing the stock's beta value. Suppose the following data show the monthly percentage returns for the market index and the company for a recent year. Month Market Index% Return Company% Return August -3 4 September 8 7 October 0 1 November -2 1 December -5 0 January 0 0 February 7 7 March 0 -2 April 2 0 May -5 -1 a.

- A random sample of beef hotdogs was taken and the amount of sodium (in mg) and calories were measured. The data are in the table. Create a scatter plot and find a regression equation between amount of calories and amount of sodium. Then use the regression equation to find the amount of sodium a beef hotdog has if it is 138 calories and if it is 100 calories. Which sodium level that you calculated do you think is closer to the true sodium level? Why?
