(d)
Section 1

Answer to Problem 19E
Solution: The coefficients of the variables “gene expression” and “rule breaking” are positive. It highlights that there lies a positive relationship between the coefficients of the two variables in both the models.
Explanation of Solution
It is observed from the calculations in part (c) that there lies a relationship between the serotonin gene receptor expression and the popularity after adjusting for rule-breaking. Also, it is seen that the coefficients of gene expression and rule breaking for both the models are positive.

Answer to Problem 19E
Solution: When the variable gene expression is increased by one unit, the popularity increases by 0.204 units in Model 1, and there is an increase in popularity by 0.161 units in Model 2.
Explanation of Solution
Calculation: The regression model for Model 1 can be written as
When the gene expression is increased by 1 unit, the increase in the popularity is calculated as follows:
Also, the regression model for Model 2 can be written as
When the gene expression is increased by 1 unit, keeping all other variables constant, the increase in popularity is calculated as follows:

This has prompted me to consider whether we should introduce custom flower bouquets in our shop. We need to decide whether to start offering this new product. There are three options: provide a complete selection of custom bouquets for events like birthdays and anniversaries, start small with just a few ready-made flower arrangements, or do not add flowers. There are also three possible outcomes. First, we might see high demand, and the bouquets could sell quickly. Second, we might have medium demand, with a few sold each week. Third, there might be low demand, and the flowers may not sell well, possibly going to waste. These outcomes…arrow_forwardConsider the state space model X₁ = §Xt−1 + Wt, Yt = AX+Vt, where Xt Є R4 and Y E R². Suppose we know the covariance matrices for Wt and Vt.
