A researcher collected statistics on the sales amount of a product in 120 different markets and the advertising budgets used in TV, radio and newspaper media channels for each of these markets. The sales amount are expressed in 1000 units, and the budgets are expressed in 1000$. The researcher wants to create a simple linear regression model by choosing one among the TV, radio and newspaper advertising budgets to explain the amount of sales. Accordingly, answer the following question by using the data in the "Regression Data Set" document in the appendix.1) b) In your opinion, which variable should this researcher choose as an independent variable to the simple regression model? Establish the simple linear regression model using the argument of your choice and write the equation for the model. Interpret b0 and b1.1) c) Test whether there is a statistically significant and linear relationship between the independent variable and the dependent variable by establishing the relevant…
Suppose you a manager for a local car dealership, and you want to use a linear
regression model to predict the price of a used car. You decide to use four
predictor variables - "Age' (how long the car has been in use since it was
produced), "Dents" (the number of visible dents on the outside of the car),
"Accidents" (the number of accidents the car has been in), and "mpg" (the fuel
efficiency of the car, measured in miles per gallon). Your dataset contains this
information for the past 120 cars sold at your dealership. Using this model, your
analysis finds an R² of 37%. What is the F statistic of your analysis?
Note:
1- Only round your final answer. Round your final answer to two decimal
places.
We have data on Lung Capacity of persons and we wish
to build a multiple linear regression model that predicts
Lung Capacity based on the predictors Age and
Smoking Status. Age is a numeric variable whereas
Smoke is a categorical variable (0 if non-smoker, 1 if
smoker). Here is the partial result from STATISTICA.

Which of the following statements is absolutely false?
A. The expected lung capacity of a smoker is expected
to be 0.648588 lower than that of a non-smoker.
B. The predictor variables Age and Smoker both
contribute significantly to the model.
C. For every one year that a person gets older, the lung
capacity is expected to increase by 0.555396 units,
holding smoker status constant.
D. For every one unit increase in smoker status, lung
capacity is expected to decrease by 0.648588 units,
holding age constant.

- Olympic Pole Vault The graph in Figure 7 indicates that in recent years the winning Olympic men’s pole vault height has fallen below the value predicted by the regression line in Example 2. This might have occurred because when the pole vault was a new event there was much room for improvement in vaulters’ performances, whereas now even the best training can produce only incremental advances. Let’s see whether concentrating on more recent results gives a better predictor of future records. (a) Use the data in Table 2 (page 176) to complete the table of winning pole vault heights shown in the margin. (Note that we are using x=0 to correspond to the year 1972, where this restricted data set begins.) (b) Find the regression line for the data in part ‚(a). (c) Plot the data and the regression line on the same axes. Does the regression line seem to provide a good model for the data? (d) What does the regression line predict as the winning pole vault height for the 2012 Olympics? Compare this predicted value to the actual 2012 winning height of 5.97 m, as described on page 177.

- A county real estate appraiser wants to develop a statistical model to predict the appraised value of houses in a section of the county called East Meadow. One of the many variables thought to be an important predictor of appraised value is the number of rooms in the house. Consequently, the appraiser decided to fit the simple linear regression model, y = b₁x + bowhere y = appraised value of the house (in $thousands) and x = number of rooms. Using data collected for a sample of n=74 houses in East Meadow, the following results were obtained: y=74.80+ 17.80x Give a practical interpretation of the estimate of the slope of the least squares line. For each additional room in the house, we estimate the appraised value to increase $74,800. 1000 For each additional dollar of appraised value, we estimate the number of rooms in the house to increase by 17.80 rooms. For a house with 0 rooms, we estimate the appraised value to be $74,800. For each additional room in the house, we estimate the…arrow_forwardPlease help me understand this problem more in depth.
