Based on the data provided in the table: * Using the regression facility in Excel, determine the estimated regression line using a nonlinear multiple regression. Does this model fit the data? Why? If it does, please write the estimated equation. Please, attach the page of the regression analysis output. * Based on the best model, test the hypothesis that there is no relationship between the demand for ice cream and each one of the independent variables. Also, indicate the statistical significance of each of the independent variables. * Based on the best model, how much is the coefficient of determination? What does it mean? For the best model, what does the F-test result tell us? * Interpret the coefficients of the independent variables based on the best model. 1. Also, describe the demand for ice cream with respect to Pic, I, T and indicate the relationship between ice cream and cappuccino. 2. Determine the point estimate of the demand for ice cream, based on the best regression model, given that the Pic = $10/kg , I = $4,000, T = 30 Celsius, and Pc = $20/kg. 3. Then, construct an approximate 95 percent confidence level prediction interval of the demand for ice cream. 4. If you know that the Durbin-Watson statistic for the data of the this case study is 1.609, what can you conclude about the possibility of autocorrelation?
Unitary Method
The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.
Speed, Time, and Distance
Imagine you and 3 of your friends are planning to go to the playground at 6 in the evening. Your house is one mile away from the playground and one of your friends named Jim must start at 5 pm to reach the playground by walk. The other two friends are 3 miles away.
Profit and Loss
The amount earned or lost on the sale of one or more items is referred to as the profit or loss on that item.
Units and Measurements
Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experiments to set up the devices.
The following table gives the quantity demanded of ice cream (Qic) in kgs per year in Sardinia (Italy), its price (Pic) in $ per kg, consumers’ income (I) in $, the temperature (T) in Celsius, and the price of cappuccino (Pc) in $ per kg:
