  Studies have shown that the frequency with which shoppers browse Internet retailers is related to the frequency with which they actually purchase products and/or services online.  The following data show respondents age and answer to the question “How many minutes do you browse online retailers per year?”
 
 
 
  Age (X) Time (Y)                      
  16 420                      
  17 269                      
  19 315                      
  22 337                      
  22 243                      
  22 459                      
  22 414                      
  28 224                      
  28 381                      
  28 412                      
  28 576                      
  30 333                      
  33 551                      
  34 548                      
  35 626                      
  35 521                      
  35 562                      
  36 699                      
  39 643                      
  39 455                      
  40 666                      
  42 553                      
  43 459                      
  44 525                      
  48 559                      
  50 507                      
  50 612                      
  51 710                      
  52 378                      
  54 566                      
  58 652                      
  59 725                      
  60 695                      
                           
                           
10) Use Data > Data Analysis > Correlation to compute the correlation checking the Labels checkbox.            
                           
                           
11) Use the Excel function =CORREL to compute the correlation. If answers for #1 and 2 do not agree, there is an error.            
                           
                           
  The strength of the correlation motivates further examination.                
12) a)  Insert Scatter (X, Y) plot linked to the data on this sheet with Age on the horizontal (X) axis.            
  b) Add to your chart: the chart name, vertical axis label, and horizontal axis label.              
  c) Complete the chart by adding Trendline and checking boxes                
                           
 
 
     
 
                   
                     
                     
                     
                     
                           
                           
  Read directly from the chart:                      
13) a) Intercept =                        
  b) Slope =                        
  c) R2 =                        
                           
  Perform Data > Data Analysis > Regression.                     
                           
14) Highlight the Y-intercept with yellow. Highlight the X variable in blue. Highlight the R Square in orange          
                           
                           
                           
                           
                           
                           
                           
                           
                           
                           
                           
                           
                           
                           
                           
                           
                           
                           
                           
                           
                           
                           
15) Use Excel to predict the number of minutes spent by a 22-year old shopper. Enter = followed by the regression formula.        
  Enter the intercept and slope into the formula by clicking on the cells in the regression output with the results.          
                           
16) Is it appropriate to use this data to predict the amount of time that a 9-year-old will be on the Internet?          
                           
  If yes, what is the amount of time, if no, why?
