Question

Is your overall satisfaction with a hotel room correlated with the cost of the room? Suppose that satisfaction scores (in percent) and the median room prices/rates (in Canadian dollars) were recorded for a sample of 12 hotels with the following results:

Hotel Median Rate Score
Econo Lodge 90 80
Crossways 75 75
Comfort Inn 105 90
Twelve Months 95 88
Days Inn 55 60
Coast Inn 85 82
Best Western 65 70
Travelodge 115 93
Paradise 145 95
Motel 6 95 95
Accent Inn 135 90
Holiday Inn 80 85

Let us use the simple linear regression model taking the median rate as xx and the satisfaction score as yy. The coefficient of correlation for this data is r=0.8240r=0.8240 and the regression equation is:

ˆy=51.9368+0.3331xy^=51.9368+0.3331x.

For part (a), round to 4 decimal places.

(a) Calculate the coefficient of determination r2=r2= 

For part (b), express your answer in percent form (i.e. 3.00% instead of 0.03) and round to 2 decimal places.

(b) What percent of the variation in satisfaction scores cannot be explained by the variation in median rates? %%

For part (c), round to 4 decimal places.

(c) What is the slope of the regression equation? 

For parts (d), (e) round to 2 decimal places.

(d) How much will the score be expected to change if the median rate increases by $10? 

(e) What would be the best predicted satisfaction score for the median rate of $120?



(f) Would it be possible to use this regression model to predict the satisfaction score for a hotel with the median room price of $500?

  • The forecast would be reliable, as the regression equation ˆy=51.9368+0.3331xy^=51.9368+0.3331x can be used to predict any score.
  • The forecast would not be reliable, as the median room price of $500 is an outlier.
  • The forecast would be reliable, as the regression equation ˆy=51.9368+0.3331xy^=51.9368+0.3331x can be used to predict any room price.
  • The forecast would be reliable, as the median room price of $500 is an outlier.
  • None of the above.
