Cincinnati Paint Company sells quality brands of paints through hardware stores throughout the United States. The company maintains a large sales force who call on existing customers and look for new business. The national sales manager is investigating the relationship between the number of sales calls made and the miles driven by the sales representative. Also, do the sales representatives who drive the most miles and make the most calls necessarily earn the most in sales commissions? To investigate, the vice president of sales selected a sample of 25 sales representatives and determined: The amount earned in commissions last month (y) The number of miles driven last month (x1) The number of sales calls made last month (x2)

A real estate agency, located in a metropolitan area in the northeastern U.S., kept data on the various types of properties purchased in the area. Historically, 15% of purchases were for condominiums, 30% were for townhouses, 40% for single family homes, 10% for commercial properties and 5% for land. With changing demographics, the agency wondered if the current distribution matches the historical distribution. Recent data showed the following: Type of Property Condos Townhouses Homes Commercial Land Frequency 89 121 78 25 12 Based on the historical distribution, we would expect how many homes to be purchased?

As a destination marketing director, you found that TV executives used the guideline that 25% of the viewers were watching Fox cable network, 22% watching NBC and CBS, and 19% watching ABC. The remaining 12% were watching other cable networks such as CNN and MSNBC on a weekday night. A random sample of 500 viewers in the D.C. metro area last Tuesday night showed 109 homes were tuned in to the Fox station, 125 homes tuning in to NBC affiliate, 100 homes tuning in to CBS affiliate and 81 homes tuning in to ABC affiliate. 85 homes were watching CNN and NSNBC cable stations. At the 0.05 significant level, can we conclude that the guideline is still reasonable?

Wegman’s (a food market chain) has developed a new store-brand brownie mix. Before they start selling the mix they want to compare how well people like their brownies to brownies made from a popular national brand mix. In order to see if there was any difference in consumer opinion, Wegman’s asked 124 shoppers to participate in a taste test. Each was given a brownie to try. Subjects were not told which kind of brownie they got—that was determined randomly. 58% of the 62 shoppers who tasted a Wegman’s brownie said liked it well enough to buy the mix, compared to 66% of the others who said they would be willing to buy the national brand. Does this result indicate that consumer interest in the Wegman’s mix is lower than for the national brand?

Bicycling World, a magazine devoted to cycling, reviews hundreds of bicycles throughout the year. Its "Road-Race" category contains reviews of bicycles used by riders primarily interested in racing. One of the most important factors in selecting a bicycle for racing is the weight of the bicycle. The following data show the weight (pounds) and price ($) for ten racing bicycles reviewed by the magazine. Model Weight Price Fierro 7B 17.9 2200 HX 5000 16.2 6350 Durbin Ultralight 16 8490 Schmidt 16.2 6300 WSilton Advanced 17.5 4100 bicyclette vélo 15.2 8500 Supremo Team 16.5 6200 XTC Racer 17.6 2680 D’Onofrio Pro 17.5 4500 Americana #6 13.6 8200 Use the data to develop an estimated regression equation that could be used to estimate the price for a bicycle given its weight. What is the estimated regression model? Group of answer choices y = -1512x + 30578 y = 1351x + 26327 y = -1161x + 24489 y = -1457x + 27903 y = 1341x + 25176

Apperson and Fitz is a chain of clothing stores that caters to high school and college students. It publishes a quarterly catalog and operates a Web site that features provocatively attired males and females. The Web site is very expensive to maintain, and company executives are not sure whether the number of hits at the site relate to sales (i.e., people may be looking at the site’s pictures only). The Web master has accumulated the following data for hits per month and orders placed at the Web site for the past 20 months: Develop a linear regression model for these data and indicate whether there appears to be a strong relationship between Web site hits and orders. What would be the forecast for orders with 50,000 hits per month?
