Is the number of calories in a beer related to the number of carbohydrates and/or the percentage of alcohol in the beer? The accompanying table has data for 35 beers. The values for three variables are included: the number of calories per 12ounces, the alcohol percentage, and the number of carbohydrates (in grams) per 12 ounces.
a.
Perform a multiple linear regression analysis, using calories as the dependent variable and percentage alcohol and number of carbohydrates as the independent variables.
Let
X1
represent alcohol percentage and let
X2
represent the number of carbohydrates.

A magazine publishes restaurant ratings for various locations around the world. The magazine rates the restaurants for food, decor, service, and the cost per person. Develop a regression model to predict the cost per person, based on a variable that represents the sum of the three ratings. The magazine has compiled the accompanying table of this summated ratings variable and the cost per person for 25 restaurants in a major city.
Predict the mean cost per person for a restaurant with a summated rating of 70.
The largest commercial fishing enterprise in the southeastern United States is the harvest of shrimp. In a study, researchers monitored variables thought to be related to the abundance of white shrimp. One variable the researchers thought might be related to abundance is the amount of oxygen in the water. The relationship between mean catch per tow of white shrimp and oxygen concentration was described by fitting a regression line using data from ten randomly selected offshore sites. (The "catch" per tow is the number of shrimp caught in a single outing.) Computer output is shown below.
The regression equation is
Mean catch per tow = -5855 + 97.4 O2 Saturation

- The value of a sports franchise is directly related to the amount of revenue that a franchise can generate. The accompanying data table gives the value and the annual revenue for 15 major sport teams. Suppose you want to develop a simple linear regression model to predict franchise value based on annual revenue generated.arrow_forwardA researcher collected statistics on the sales amount of a product in 120 different markets and the advertising budgets used in TV, radio and newspaper media channels for each of these markets. The sales amount are expressed in 1000 units, and the budgets are expressed in 1000$. The researcher wants to create a simple linear regression model by choosing one among the TV, radio and newspaper advertising budgets to explain the amount of sales. Accordingly, answer the following question by using the data in the "Regression Data Set" document in the appendix.1) b) In your opinion, which variable should this researcher choose as an independent variable to the simple regression model?

Fuel efficiency can depend on a variety of variables. In this analysis, there are 73 automobiles that are popular with consumers. A regression analysis has been performed; the dependent variable is CityMPG (EPA miles per gallon in city driving), and independent variables are Length (vehicle length in inches), Width (vehicle width in inches), Weight (vehicle weight in pounds), and ManTran (1 if manual shift transmission, 0 otherwise). The level of significance is 0.05. Use the following MegaStat output to answer questions about this regression analysis. a. State the regression equation. b. How would CityMPG be affected if the width of a vehicle increased by an inch? c.

- A major brokerage company has an office in Miami, Florida. The manager of the office is evaluated based on the number of new clients generated each quarter. Data were collected that show the number of new customers added during each quarter between 2015 and 2018. A multiple regression model was developed with the number of new customers as the dependent and the following four independent variables: Period (1, …, 16): A variable that measures the trend; Q1 = 1 for first quarter, Q1 = 0 otherwise; Q2 = 1 for second quarter, Q2 = 0 otherwise; Q3 = 1 for third quarter, Q3 = 0 otherwise. Questions: 1. Explain each of the four slopes (Period, Q1, Q2, Q3). 2. How many new customers would you expect in the second quarter of the following year (2019)?arrow_forwardIn a study of housing demand, the county assessor develops the following regression model to estimate the market value (i.e., selling price) of residential property within his jurisdiction. The assessor suspects that important variables affecting selling price (YY, measured in thousands of dollars) are the size of a house (X1X1, measured in hundreds of square feet), the total number of rooms (X2X2), age (X3X3), and whether or not the house has an attached garage (X4X4, No=0, Yes=1No=0, Yes=1).

You decide to use four predictor variables - "Age' (how long the car has been in use since it was produced), "Dents" (the number of visible dents on the outside of the car), "Accidents" (the number of accidents the car has been in), and "mpg" (the fuel efficiency of the car, measured in miles per gallon). Your dataset contains this information for the past 120 cars sold at your dealership. Using this model, your analysis finds an R² of 37%. What is the F statistic of your analysis?

- In mammals, the toxicity of drugs, pesticides and chemical carcinogens can be altered by inducing liver enzyme activity. In a study on chickens, five liver enzymes had their activity induced by butylated hydroxytoluene, and the resulting percent detoxification of malathion (an organophosphate insecticide) was recorded. The experimenters believed that the response (% detoxification, DT) could be modelled by a multiple linear regression based on the activities of the individual enzymes (EAi, i = 1 to 5, measured as a percentage of normal activity): DT = b0 + b1×EA1 + b2×EA2 + b3×EA3 + b4×EA4 +b5×EA5 The results from the experiment are contained in the screenshot, which contains six variables: Detox – DT, the % detoxification of malathion by liver.
