a)
To estimate: The regression equation.

Explanation of Solution
Data:
Formulae to determine the data:
Regression using StatTools:
Regression and classification from the StatTools should be used. The below image shows the regression parameter table from StatTools:
Regression result:
Hence, the regression equation is Quality = 106.085 – 0.916 temperature + 0.788 pressure. The value of R-square is 0.2115. The quality score falls by 0.916 and the pressure would remain constant when the temperature increases by one degree. The quality score rises by 0.788 and the temperature would remain constant when the pressure increases by one pound.
b)
To run: The regression by adding an interaction term between pressure and temperature.

Regression and classification from the StatTools should be used. The below image shows the regression parameter table from StatTools:
Regression result:
The above table provides the estimated coefficients. The standard error of estimate falls and the adjusted R-square rises.
c)
To determine: The difference between the estimated coefficients in the two equations.

c)
Explanation of Solution
The quality score would increase by 7.086 – 0.145×pressure and the pressure would remain constant when the temperature increases by one degree. The quality score would increase by 13.883 – 0.145×temperature and the temperature would remain constant when the pressure increases by one pound per square inch. Based on the level of the pressure, the coefficient would indicate the quality change rate with respect to the temperature.

- A local fast-food restaurant processes several customer orders at once. Service clerks’ cross paths, sometimes nearly colliding, while they trace different paths to fill customer orders. If customers order a special combination of toppings on their burgers, they must wait quite some time while the special order is cooked. How would you modify the restaurant’s operations to achieve competitive advantage? Because demand surges at lunchtime, volume flexibility is a competitive priority in the fast-food business. How would you achieve volume flexibility? What are the potential downsides of relying too heavily on automation and standardization in this industry? What data would you want to gather, if any, before making recommendations?arrow_forwardWhat are 4 key points that are interesting about this video https://youtu.be/LAoMuvYZ_QM?si=Mognj_KBU9EIOLSParrow_forwarda) Select all of the correct impacts the maturing of a product might have on OM strategy below.
