Question

Situation: The Ipod Touch has been out for two years now and a lot of data has been collected.

Relevant Relationship:

There is a functional relationship between Price of an IPod Touch,pp and Weekly Demand,ss.

Below is a table of data that have been collected

Price,pp,($) Weekly Demand,ss,(1,000s)
150 216
170 208
190 198
210 190
230 180
250 173



A.. Find the linear model that best fits this data using regression and enter the model below

(for entry round the linear parameter value to nearest 0.01 and constant parameter to nearest 1)

s=T(p)=s=T(p)=  

B. The squared correlation coefficient r2r2 was     0.95

(note: values less than 0.95 MAY mean the model is not appropriate for making predictions)

Now answer these two questions using the UNROUNDED model parameters

C. What does the model predict will be the weekly demand if the price of an ipod touch is $196 ?  (nearest 100) *** Use the actual equation from the regression calculator ***

D. According to the model at what should the price be set in order to have a weekly demand of 187,600 ipod Touches? $ (nearest $1)

Note: In the "real" world Apple sold about 20 million Ipod Touch's from Sept. 2007-Sept. 2009 Answer
