Managing Ashland MultiComm Services
In its continuing study of the 3-For-All subscription solicitation process, a marketing department team wants to test the effects of two types of structured sales presentations (personal formal and personal informal) and the number of hours spent on telemarketing on the number of new subscriptions. The staff has recorded these data for the past 24 weeks AMS14.
Analyze these data and develop a multiple regression model to predict the number of new subscriptions for a week, based on
the number of hours spent on telemarketing and the sales presentation type. Write a report, giving detailed findings concerning the regression model used.
We want to predict the probability of car accidents based on three risk factors: (i)
average driving speed, (ii) weather, and (iii) user age. What is the most appropriate
machine learning model for this case? Why?
a. Linear regression
b. Logistic regression
c. K-means clustering
Healthy living has always been an important goal for any society. Consider a regression model that conjectures that fruits and vegetables and regular exercising have a positive effect on health and smoking has a negative effect on health. The accompanying data file shows the percentage of these variables observed in various states in the United States.
