A major brokerage company has an office in Miami, Florida. The manager of the office is evaluated based on the number of new clients generated each quarter. Data were collected that show the number of new customers added during each quarter between 2015 and 2018. A multiple regression model was developed with the number of new customers as the dependent and the following four independent variables: Period (1, …, 16): A variable that measures the trend; Q1 = 1 for first quarter, Q1 = 0 otherwise; Q2 = 1 for second quarter, Q2 = 0 otherwise; Q3 = 1 for third quarter, Q3 = 0 otherwise. Questions: 1. Explain each of the four slopes (Period, Q1, Q2, Q3). 2. How many new customers would you expect in the second quarter of the following year (2019)?
You may need to use the appropriate technology to answer this question. A regression analysis involving 45 observations relating a dependent variable and two independent variables resulted in the following information. ý = 0.406 + 1.3385X + 2X2 The SSE for the above model is 43. When two other independent variables were added to the model, the following information was provided. ŷ = 1.9 - 3x₁ + 12x₂ + 4x3 + 8x4 This model's SSE is 36. At a 0.05 level of significance, test to determine if the two added independent variables contribute significantly to the model. State the relevant null and alternative hypotheses.

The U.S. Postal Service is attempting to reduce the number of complaints made by the public against its workers. To facilitate this task, a staff analyst for the service regresses the number of complaints lodged against an employee last year on the hourly wage of the employee for the year. The analyst ran a simple linear regression in SPSS. The results are shown below. The current minimum wage is $5.15. If an employee earns the minimum wage, how many complaints can that employee expect to receive? Is the regression coefficient statistically significant? How can you tell?

Stoaches are fictional creatures that nest in truffula forests. A researcher wants to know whether there is a relationship between a stoach’s wingspan (?W, the predictor) and its nest height (?H, the response). A sample of 88 stoaches is observed, and for each, the wing-span (in cm) and the nest height (in m) are recorded. The observed data meet the assumptions for a linear regression, so the researcher fits the regression model and obtains a regression equation ℎ̂=−0.813+0.177?,h^=−0.813+0.177w, with standard error for the coefficient of ?w equal to 0.448. Determine the ?p-value from a test for a statistically significant linear dependence of nest height on wing-span. (Give your answer to 4 decimal places.
Hi, i have one question. How was the level of significance obtained? at the beginning of the exercise it is clarified that it is (α)=0.05 but I don't know where this value comes from
A study examined the eating habits of 20 children at a nursery school. The variables measured for each child included: calories (the number of calories eaten at lunch), time (the time in minutes spent eating lunch), and sex (male=1, female=0). A multiple linear regression model using Y = calories, X1 = time, and X2 = sex led to the following model: y=547.65-2.85x1+10.67x2 For two children who spend the same amount of time eating, one male and one female, which child is predicted to consume more calories and by how much?
A box office analyst seeks to predict opening weekend box office gross for movies. Toward this goal, the analyst plans to use online trailer views as a predictor. For each of the 66 movies, the number of online trailer views from the release of the trailer through the Saturday before a movie opens and the opening weekend box office gross (in millions of dollars) are collected and stored in the accompanying table. A linear regression was performed on these data, and the result is the linear regression equation Yi=−0.840+1.4108Xi. Determine the coefficient of determination,r2,and interpret its meaning. Determine the standard error of the estimate. How useful do you think this regression model is for predicting opening weekend box office gross? Can you think of other variables that might explain the variation in opening weekend box office gross?

The City of Bellmore’s police chief believes that maintenance costs on high-mileage police vehicles are much higher than those costs for low-mileage vehicles. If high-mileage vehicles are costing too much, it may be more economical to purchase more vehicles. An analyst in the department regresses yearly maintenance costs (Y) for a sample of 200 police vehicles on each vehicle’s total mileage for the year (X). The regression equation finds: Y = $50 + .030X with a r2 of .90 What is the IV? What is the DV? If the mileage increases by one mile, what is the predicted increase in maintenance costs? If a vehicle’s mileage for the year is 50,000, what is its predicted maintenance costs? What does an r2 of .90 tell us? Is this a strong or weak correlation? How can you tell?
A financial website reported the beta value for a certain company was 0.86. Betas for individual stocks are determined by simple linear regression. The dependent variable is the total return for the stock, and the independent variable is the total return for the stock market, such as the return of a market index. The slope of this regression equation is referred to as the stock's beta. Many financial analysts prefer to measure the risk of a stock by computing the stock's beta value. Suppose the following data show the monthly percentage returns for the market index and the company for a recent year. Month Market Index% Return Company% Return August -3 4 September 8 7 October 0 1 November -2 1 December -5 0 January 0 0 February 7 7 March 0 -2 April 2 0 May -5 -1 a. Develop the least squares estimated regression equation. (Let x = Market Index % Return (as a %), and let y = Company % Return (as a %). Round your numerical values to four decimal places.)
