The district manager of Jasons, a large discount electronics chain, is investigating why certain stores in her region are performing better than others. She believes that three factors are related to total sales: the number of competitors in the region, the population in the surrounding area, and the amount spent on advertising. From her district consisting of several hundred stores, she selects a random sample of 30 stores. For each store, she gathered the following information.   y = total sales last year (in $ thousands) x1 = number of competitors in the region x2 = population of the region (in millions) x3 = advertising expense (in $ thousands)   The results of a multiple regression analysis, using Minitab, follow.   Analysis of variance Source DF SS MS Regression 3   3050 1016.67   Residual Error 26   2200 84.62   Total 29   5250         Predictor Coefficient SE Coefficient t Constant 14.00   7.00   2.00   x1 −1.00   0.70   −1.43   x2 30.00   5.20   5.77   x3 0.20   0.08   2.50       What are the estimated sales for the Bryne store, which has four competitors, a regional population of 0.4 (400,000), and an advertising expense of 30 ($30,000)?         Compute the R2 value. (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)         Compute the multiple standard error of estimate. (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)         d-1. State the decision rule. H0: β1 = β2 = β3 = 0; H1: Not all β's are 0.

Question

The district manager of Jasons, a large discount electronics chain, is investigating why certain stores in her region are performing better than others. She believes that three factors are related to total sales: the number of competitors in the region, the population in the surrounding area, and the amount spent on advertising. From her district consisting of several hundred stores, she selects a random sample of 30 stores. For each store, she gathered the following information.

 

y = total sales last year (in $ thousands)

x1 = number of competitors in the region

x2 = population of the region (in millions)

x3 = advertising expense (in $ thousands)

 

The results of a multiple regression analysis, using Minitab, follow.

  1. What are the estimated sales for the Bryne store, which has four competitors, a regional population of 0.4 (400,000), and an advertising expense of 30 ($30,000)?

 

 

 

 

  1. Compute the R2 value. (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)

 

 

 

 

  1. Compute the multiple standard error of estimate. (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)

 

 

 

 

  1. d-1. State the decision rule. H0: β1 = β2 = β3 = 0; H1: Not all β's are 0. Use the 0.05 level of significance. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

 

 

 

 

  1. d-2. Compute the F-value. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

 

 

 

 

  1. d-3. What is your decision regarding the null hypothesis?

 

 

 

 

  1. e-1. If we test the significance of the individual regression coefficients, H0: βi = 0, state the decision rule using the 0.05 significance level. (Negative values should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answers to 3 decimal places.)

 

 

 

 

  1. e-2. Should any variable be dropped?
