Suppose that you are a manager for a factory that produces coats. You want to create a regression model with several variables to predict the price that a customer will be willing to pay for a coat. You examine the price the customers were willing to pay for your past 32 coat designs, along with the amount of material used (measured in yards), number of brands involved with the design/advertising, and the number of designs on the coat. The incomplete results of your multiple linear regression model are displayed below: Variable Coeff SE(Coeff) t-ratio P-value Intercept 86.19 53.21 Material used 42.5 1.2 (yards) Number of 21 3.4 Brands Number of 39.49 2 Designs Using this information, what is the coefficient of the predictor variable "Number of Brands"?

Does Table 1 represent a linear function? If so, finda linear equation that models the data.
Olympic Pole Vault The graph in Figure 7 indicates that in recent years the winning Olympic men’s pole vault height has fallen below the value predicted by the regression line in Example 2. This might have occurred because when the pole vault was a new event there was much room for improvement in vaulters’ performances, whereas now even the best training can produce only incremental advances. Let’s see whether concentrating on more recent results gives a better predictor of future records. (a) Use the data in Table 2 (page 176) to complete the table of winning pole vault heights shown in the margin. (Note that we are using x=0 to correspond to the year 1972, where this restricted data set begins.) (b) Find the regression line for the data in part ‚(a). (c) Plot the data and the regression line on the same axes. Does the regression line seem to provide a good model for the data? (d) What does the regression line predict as the winning pole vault height for the 2012 Olympics? Compare this predicted value to the actual 2012 winning height of 5.97 m, as described on page 177. Has this new regression line provided a better prediction than the line in Example 2?
Suppose you a manager for a local car dealership, and you want to use a linear regression model to predict the price of a used car. You decide to use four predictor variables - "Age' (how long the car has been in use since it was produced), "Dents" (the number of visible dents on the outside of the car), "Accidents" (the number of accidents the car has been in), and "mpg" (the fuel efficiency of the car, measured in miles per gallon). Your dataset contains this information for the past 120 cars sold at your dealership. Using this model, your analysis finds an R² of 37%. What is the F statistic of your analysis? Note: 1- Only round your final answer. Round your final answer to two decimal places.
Isla Esme, Inc., sells tea products to various customers. In recent years, profits have been declining. The CFO of the business investigated the reasons for the profit decline and performed regression analysis for sales and costs. He determined that sales depend on product price, delivery speed, customer services, and marketing expenses. He also determined that total costs consist of variable costs of $25 per unit and fixed costs of $56,000. Marketing expenses have a coefficient of determination of 75% related sales.Question: Define the coefficient of determination and explain what it means in this scenario.
The largest commercial fishing enterprise in the southeastern United States is the harvest of shrimp. In a study, researchers monitored variables thought to be related to the abundance of white shrimp. One variable the researchers thought might be related to abundance is the amount of oxygen in the water. The relationship between mean catch per tow of white shrimp and oxygen concentration was described by fitting a regression line using data from ten randomly selected offshore sites. (The "catch" per tow is the number of shrimp caught in a single outing.) Computer output is shown below. The regression equation is Mean catch per tow = -5855 + 97.4 O2 Saturation Predictor Coef SE Coef T P Constant -5855 2393 -2.45 0.040 O2 Saturation 97.4 34.62 2.81 0.023 c)Construct a 95% confidence interval for ?.

The manager of the Ramona Inn Hotel near Cloverleaf Stadium believes that how well the local Blue Sox professional baseball team is playing has an impact on the occupancy rate at the hotel during the summer months. Following are the number of victories for the Blue Sox (in a 162-game schedule) for the past 8 years and the hotel occupancy rates: Develop a linear regression model for these data and forecast the occupancy rate for next year if the Blue Sox win 88 games
A county real estate appraiser wants to develop a statistical model to predict the appraised value of houses in a section of the county called East Meadow. One of the many variables thought to be an important predictor of appraised value is the number of rooms in the house. Consequently, the appraiser decided to fit the simple linear regression model, y = b₁x + bowhere y = appraised value of the house (in $thousands) and x = number of rooms. Using data collected for a sample of n=74 houses in East Meadow, the following results were obtained: y=74.80+ 17.80x Give a practical interpretation of the estimate of the slope of the least squares line. For each additional room in the house, we estimate the appraised value to increase $74,800. 1000 For each additional dollar of appraised value, we estimate the number of rooms in the house to increase by 17.80 rooms. For a house with 0 rooms, we estimate the appraised value to be $74,800. For each additional room in the house, we estimate the…
Bill wants to explore factors affecting work stress. He would like to examine the relationship between age, number of years at the workplace, perceived social support, and work stress. He collects data on the variables from 100 employees (males and females) working in banks. The research question is How accurately can work stress be predicted from linear combination of the predictors (age, social support, number of years at the workplace)? Conduct a multiple regression analysis to answer the following questions: What is the regression equation for all the predictors? Write a results section based on your analysis that answers the research question.

A magazine publishes restaurant ratings for various locations around the world. The magazine rates the restaurants for food, decor, service, and the cost per person. Develop a regression model to predict the cost per person, based on a variable that represents the sum of the three ratings. The magazine has compiled the accompanying table of this summated ratings variable and the cost per person for 25 restaurants in a major city. Predict the mean cost per person for a restaurant with a summated rating of 70.
