To determine To calculate: The point of diminishing returns for the revenue generated from advertising. Explanation Given: Revenue generated is related to the amount x spent on advertising is, R ( x ) = x + 13 x 2 − x 3 3 Formula used: If f ( x ) = x n then; f ′ ( x ) = n x n − 1 Calculation: The point of diminishing returns occurs at the inflection point. Therefore, in order to determine the diminishing point, the inflection point should be determined. Write the given function. R ( x ) = x + 13 x 2 − x 3 3 …… (1) Do first derivative of the function

Correlation

Correlation defines a relationship between two independent variables. It tells the degree to which variables move in relation to each other. When two sets of data are related to each other, there is a correlation between them.

Linear Correlation

A correlation is used to determine the relationships between numerical and categorical variables. In other words, it is an indicator of how things are connected to one another. The correlation analysis is the study of how variables are related.

Regression Analysis

Regression analysis is a statistical method in which it estimates the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variable. In simple terms dependent variable is called as outcome variable and independent variable is called as p…
