Beachcomber Ltd in a local car dealership that sells used and new vehicles. The manager of the company wants to know how different variables affect the sales of his vehicles. A random sample of yearly data was taken with the view to testing the model: SALES=a+BAGE+YMIL+8ENG ) Where SALES= amount that a vehicle is sold for($000's), AGE = age of the vehicle, MIL= the total mileage of the vehicle at the point of sale and ENG = the size of the engine. The sample of data was processed using MINITAB and the following is an extract of the output obtained:

ABC company has recently experienced a sharp decline in its stock price. Its current (time 0) stock price is $42.65, and this morning, it paid $5.00 per share. Given that the stock price four years ago was $82.88, complete the following time series of data by determining the missing values. t= -3, Pt =$83.43, Divt = $16.03, Rt = (1)t= -2, Pt =$85.20, Divt =(2), Rt = 22.8482%t= -1, Pt =(3), Divt =$17.50, Rt = 20.6572%t= 0, Pt =$42.65, Divt =$5.00, Rt =(4)
A car lot wants to predict the # of car accessories they need to sell monthly based on the number of cars sold. The car lot owner randomly selects 12 months of data. The simple linear regression equation is ý = 14 - 2x. The coefficient of determination is 0.6364. What is the correlation coefficient to describe the relationship between these two variables? Multiple Choice
A random sample of college students was surveyed about how they spend their time each week. The scatterplot below displays the relationship between the number of hours each student typically works per week at a part- or full-time job and the number of hours of television each student typically watches per week. The correlation between these variables is r = –0.63, and the equation we would use to predict hours spent watching TV based on hours spent working is as follows: Predicted hours spent watching TV = 17.21 – 0.23(hours spent working) Since we are using hours spent working to help us predict hours spent watching TV, we’d call hours spent working a(n) __________________ variable and hours spent watching TV a(n) __________________ variable. The correlation coefficient, along with what we see in the scatterplot, tells us that the relationship between the variables has a direction that is _________________ and a strength that is ______________________. According to the…

A group of researchers measured how funny people rated a cartoon when they were in one of two groups: holding a pen in their teeth (forcing them to smile) or holding a pen in their lips (forcing them to frown). For this study, identify the independent variable and the dependent variable. Justify your response.
The EPA records data on the fuel economy of many different makes of cars. They are interested in determining if one could predict the mileage of the car (in miles per gallon) from the weight of the car (in pounds). What is the response variable to this study?
A pediatrician wants to determine the relation that exists between a child's height (x) and head circumference (y). She randomly selects 11 children from her practice and measures their height and head circumference in inches. She finds that the correlation is 0.694, and the regression equation is y = 0.294x + 2.02. What proportion of the variation in head circumference can be explained by the variation in the values of height? Round your answer to three decimal places. %

A researcher studied the relationship between the amount of carbohydrates (x) and the amount of salt (y) in different food products. sample of 36 food products yielded these calculations: r = -0.1245, ŷ=0.5545– 0.1636x According to the correlation, if a food contains more carbohydrates, is it likely to contain more salt or less salt? Why or why not?
The data used is from college campuses. The variables used in the analysis below include: crime, total campus crime; enroll, total enrollment; police, employed officers. Use the estimated OLS models to answer the questions below: Model A: In(crime) = -6.631 + 1.270ln(enroll), (1.034) (.110) .5804 n = 97; R² = Model B: In(crime) = -4.794+.923ln(enroll) +.516ln(police), (.144) (.149) (1.112) n = 97; R² = .632 Using Model A, test the null hypothesis that elasticity of crime with respect to enrollment is unit elastic, i.e. equal to one (against a two-sided alternative). What is the conclusion of your test using a significance level of .01? Reject Fail to reject O Not enough information.
