Imagine a regression with YEAR (as in 2015 or 2001) predicting SALES (in thousands of dollars) as so: SALES = 100 + 0.5*YEAR And YEAR is statistically significant. What should you predict SALES to be in 2020? (Express your answer as SALES does: in thousands of dollars.)

A study by Wolfinger in 2015 showed that the probability of divorce decreases with marriage age for people who were married between 18 and 32 years old. Would it be appropriate to use this decreasing trend to predict the probability of divorce for a person who was married at 65 years old? why or why not? what poor practice in regression does this illustrate?
Based on the scatterplot and residual plot, what type of model would be appropriate for summarizing the relationship between days and number of views? A popular television show recently released a video preview for the upcoming season on its website. As fans of the show discover the video, the number of views of the preview video has grown each day during the last 2 weeks. The number of days since the release of the video and the natural log of the number of video views is shown in the scatterplot. O An exponential model is appropriate because the residual plot does not show a clear pattern. O A linear model is appropriate because the scatterplot shows a strong, positive linear relationship. In(Views) vs. Days O A power model is appropriate because the scatterplot of days and natural log of views is strong and linear. 10 9.5 An exponential model is appropriate because the relationship between days and the natural log of views is linear, and the residual plot does not show a clear…
While attempting to measure its risk exposure for the upcoming year, an insurance company notices a trend between the age of a customer and the number of claims per year. It appears that the number of claims keep going up as customers age. After performing a regression, they find that the relationship is (claims per year) = 0.17* (age) + 2.04. If a customer is 47 years old and they make an average of 14.72 claims per year, what is the residual?

While attempting to measure its risk exposure for the upcoming year, an insurance company notices a trend between the age of a customer and the number of claims per year. It appears that the number of claims keep going up as customers age. After performing a regression, they find that the relationship is (claims per year) = 0.385*(age) + 5.218. If a customer is 44.315 years old and they make an average of 11.239 claims per year, the residual is -11.04. Interpret this residual in terms of the problem. Question 10 options: 1) The number of claims per year is 11.04 claims less than what we would expect. 2) The age is 11.04 years larger than what we would expect. 3) The age is 11.04 years less than what we would expect. 4) The number of claims per year is 11.239 claims less than what we would expect. 5) The number of claims per year is 11.04 claims…
Assume you were forecasting the demand of a table and you have 10 years of data. Using a static forecasting model with regression and you got a regression equation which was Demand=500+5×Time and a seasonal index for four quarters as 85%, 115%, 130% and 70%. Explain what all this means to your manager who does not have a background in analytics.
The reason why estimators have a sampling distribution is that: oooo Economics is not a precise science In real life you typically get to sample many times Individuals respond different to incentives The values of the explanatory variable and the error term differ across samples.
