Required:
a. Estimate the labor costs assuming 3,300 visitors for the month using the results of a simple regression based on the 30 months of
available data.
b. What percentage of the variance in the data does the R-squared value explain?
c. You learn that starting in month 16, the park started using a different, more automated system for interacting with visitors. Estimate
the labor cost assuming 3,300 visitors using the results of a simple regression based on the data for months 16 through 30 only.
d. What percentage of the variance in the data does the R-squared value explain?

Expert Solution
Step 1 Introduction

The R squared value is known as coefficient of determination and it is defined as the square of the correlation coefficient (r) value.

             The formula for correlation coefficient r formula is
