We are interested in understanding consumption of pork in the U.S. so we run a regression of annual per capita consumption of pork on a series of independent variables using data from 1990 to 2018 and obtain the following regression results (standard errors in parenthesis) CPt = -330.3 + 49.1 In Inct − 0.34 PPt + 0.33PBt (7.40) (0.13) (0.12) R²=0.71 DW=0.94 Where CPt is the annual per capita pounds of pork consumed in the U.S. in year t InInc, is the log of per capita disposable income in the U.S. in year t PP, is the average annualized real wholesale price of pork in the U.S. in year t (in cents per pound) PB, is the average annualized real wholesale price of beef in the U.S. in year t (in cents per pound) a. Interpret the partial slope coefficients. Does the sign on the coefficients agree or disagree with your a priori assumptions? Explain b. Using a two-sided test at the 5% significant level, determine if the partial slopes are statistically significant. c. Test the presence of…

Water is being poured into a large, cone-shaped cistern. The volume of water, measured in cm³, is reported at different time intervals, measured in seconds. A regression analysis was completed and is displayed in the computer output.

The regression equation to predict sales based on temperature is:  Predicted sales = -2419.01+ 98.02 (temperature).    A correct interpretation of the slope would be that 1. as temperature goes up by 1 degree, sales are predicted to go down by 2419.01. 2. as temperature goes down by 1 degree, sales are predicted to go up by 2419.01. 3. as temperature goes up by 1 degree, sales are predicted to go down by 98.02. 4. as temperature goes up by 1 degree, sales are predicted to go up by 98.02. 5. None of the answer choices provides a correct interpretation of the slope.

Consider a data set with 15 observations and consider a multiple linear regression model with 7 in-dependent variables. Assume you have estimated the model and you find that SST = 1,325 and SSR = 794.
