Large companies typically collect volumes of data before designing a product, not only to gain information as to whether the product should be released, but also to pinpoint which markets would be the best targets for the product. Several months ago, I was interviewed by such a company while shopping at a mall. I was asked about my exercise habits and whether or not I'd be interested in buying a video/DVD designed to teach stretching exercises. I fall into the male, 18 – 35-years-old category, and I guessed that, like me, many males in that category would not be interested in a stretching video. My friend Diane falls in the female, older-than-35 category, and I was thinking that she might like the stretching video. After being interviewed, I looked at the interviewer's results. Of the 93 people in my market category who had been interviewed, 17 said they would buy the product, and of the 113 people in Diane's market category, 34 said they would buy it. Assuming that these data came…

- Making Predictions. In Exercises 5–8, let the predictor variable x be the first variable given. Use the given data to find the regression equation and the best predicted value of the response variable. Be sure to follow the prediction procedure summarized in Figure 10-5 on page 493. Use a 0.05 significance level. Bear Measurements Head widths (in.) and weights (lb) were measured for 20 randomly selected bears (from Data Set 9 “Bear Measurements” in Appendix B). The 20 pairs of measurements yield x = 6.9 in., ȳ = 214.3 lb, r = 0.879, P -value = 0.000, and ŷ = −212 + 61.9x. Find the best predicted value of ŷ (weight) given a bear with a head width of 6.5 in.arrow_forwardThe SAT and ACT exams are often used to predict a student's first-term college grade point average (GPA). Different formulas are used for different colleges and majors. Suppose that a student is applying to a university with an intended major in civil engineering. Also suppose that for this college and this major, the following model is used to predict first term GPA. GPA = a + b(ACT) a = 0.6 b = 0.2 (a) In this context, what would be the appropriate interpretation of the value of a? The value of a is the predicted ACT score of a student who has a 0 GPA. There is not enough information to know how to interpret the value of a. The value of a represents the change in predicted GPA associated with an increase of 1 in ACT score. The value of a represents the change in predicted GPA associated with an decrease of 1 in ACT score. The value of a is the predicted GPA of a student who scored a 0 on the ACT.

What type of pattern exists in the data? b) Use a regression model with dummy variables as follows to develop an equation to account for seasonal effects in the data. Qtr1=1 if Quarter 1, 0 otherwise; Qtr2=1 if Quarter 2, 0 otherwise; Qtr3=1 if Quarter 3, 0 otherwise. c) Compute the quarterly forecasts for next year. d) Let t=1 to refer to the observation in quarter 1 of year 1; t=2 to refer to the observation in quarter 2 of year 1; ...; and t=12 to refer to the observation in quarter 4 of year 3. Using the dummy variables defined in part (b) and also using t, develop an equation to account for seasonal effects and any linear trend in the time series.
