The U.S. Postal Service is attempting to reduce the number of complaints made by the public against its workers. To facilitate this task, a staff analyst for the service regresses the number of complaints lodged against an employee last year on the hourly wage of the employee for the year. The analyst ran a simple linear regression in SPSS. The results are shown below.
What proportion of variation in the number of complaints can be explained by hourly wages?
From the results shown above, write the regression equation
If wages were increased by $1.00, what is the expected effect on the number of complaints received per employee?
Ali runs a gift shop in the Defense area, Karachi. He advertises weekly in the local newspapers and is considering increasing his advertising budget. Before doing so, he decides to evaluate the past effectiveness of these advertisements. Five weeks are sampled, and the advertising expenses (in PKR) and sales volume for each is shown in the Table 2. Develop a regression equation that would help Mr. Ali evaluate his advertising. Find slope value.

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.

The multiple regression equation is shown below. A middle manager at an entertainment company, upon seeing this analysis, concludes that the longer you make a movie, the less money it will make. He argues that his company's films should all be cut by 25 minutes to improve their gross. Explain the flaw in his interpretation of this model. USGross = -22.9898 +1.13442Budget +24.9724Stars -0.403296Run Time Choose the correct answer below. O A. Since the coefficient for Run Time is less than one, making a movie shorter may or may not increase its gross. O B. The model says that longer films had larger gross incomes after allowing for Budget and Stars, so making a movie longer will increase its gross. O C. Since the coefficient for Run Time is so small, the studio should cut the films…arrow_forward

Sales: weekly sales in $ (dependent variable) aisle location: 1 if the product was placed at the front of the aisle; 0 if the product was placed at the back of the aisle Shelf space: shelf space occupied by specialty pet food (in square feet) Use the attached regression analysis to answer the following questions: Question A. If two stores A and B had the same shelf space allocated to specialty pet food but store A placed this product at the front of the aisle whereas store B placed this product at the back of the aisle, which of these two stores would have higher sales of this specialty pet food?
