You have been hired to help a large supermarket retail chain. they are trying to understand how aisle location of specialty pet food - whether specialty pet food is placed at the front or back of the aisle, and shelf space allocated to it (in square feet) affect its sales. An data analyst colleague provided the following regression analysis.
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? A or B?

Column 1 is the selling price of the house in thousands of dollars and column 2 is the size in hundreds of square feet.a. Draw a scattergram of price vs size. Discuss whether this scattergram supports an assumption of a linear relationship between price and size.b. Using Excel, obtain the equation of the linear regression line that fits this data for price vs. size.c. Using relevant Excel output, discuss whether the true slope of the regression line is different from zero.d. What is the expected price for a house with size 2000 square feet?

Perform simple regressions as you did above predicting allocations for month 13 for those three employment sources. Which of the following statements would be the best conclusion from your analysis? Group of answer choices The model R-square for Monster.com is the highest R-square value of the three platforms. Therefore, management will likely provide the most funding for that platform, and we should focus on that above the other two. The models for Monster.com and Newspaper/Magazine are both significant, which means we should focus on these two platforms over CareerBuilder because management will likely provide us the most funding for those two platforms. The predicted monthly amount for CareerBuilder is lower than the predicted amount for Newspaper/Magazine. Therefore, they should expect the lowest amount of funding for CareerBuilder out of all of the…arrow_forward
