1. A college bookstore must order books two months before each semester starts. They believe that the number of books that will ultimately be sold for any particular course is related to the number of students registered for the course when the books are ordered. They would like to develop a linear regression equation to help plan how many books to order. From past records, the bookstore obtains the number of students registered, X, and the number of books actually sold for a course, Y, for 12 different semesters. These data are below. Show the complete table for your solutions. Semester Students Books 31 1 36 2 3 28 29 35 34 4 39 35 5 30 29 6 30 30 7 31 30 8 38 38 36 34 10 38 33 11 29 29 12 26 26

The manager of the Bayville police department motor pool wants to develop a forecast model for annual maintenance on police cars, based on mileage in the past year and age of the cars. The following data have been collected for eight different cars: a. Using Excel, develop a multiple regression equation for these data. b. What is the coefficient of determination for this regression equation? c. Forecast the annual maintenance cost for a police car that is 5 years old and will be driven 10,000 miles in 1 year.
A researcher has developed a regression model from fourteen pairs of data points. He wants to test to determine if the slope is significantly different from zero. He uses a two-tailed test and a = 0.01. The critical tablet value is 2.718 3.012 2.650 O 3.055 O 2.168
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)?
The Toyota Camry is one of the best-selling cars in North America. The cost of a previously owned Camry depends upon many factors, including the model year, mileage, and condition. To investigate the relationship between the car's mileage and the sales price for a 2007 model year Camry, the following data show the mileage and sale price for 19 sales (PriceHub website).

A researcher conducted a number of descriptive statistics for two variables X and Y. They were as follows: SP = 15; SSx = 3; My = 7; Mx = 3 What is b equal to (Please include the sign: e.g., -20)? What is a equal to (please include the sign: e.g., +4.0)? Using b and a construct a regression equation, and then using the regression equation, calculate the value of predicted Y when X = 2?

A car dealership would like to develop a regression model that would predict the number of cars sold per month by a dealership employee based on theemployee's number of years of sales experience. The accompanying regression output was developed based on a random sample of employees. a. Predict the sales next month for an employee with 2.5 years of experience. The predicted sales is 8.6 cars. b. Compute the coefficient of determination and interpret its meaning. The coefficient of determination is 0.234 Therefore, about _________% of the variation in monthly sales is explained by the years of sales experience. (Type an integer or decimal rounded to one decimal place as needed.)
