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)

Summary Introduction

To run: The regression by adding an interaction term between pressure and temperature.

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.

Read the Following Extract and Answer the Questions that Follows:The word politics has a somewhat negative connotation. It suggests that someone is attempting touse means or to gain ends that are not sanctioned by the organisation. Political behaviour, as we’vedefined it is quite neutral. Similarly, power is not inherently negative. Whether a person viewspower and politics as unsavoury topics depends on several considerations, most important perhapsbeing where the individual stands on a specific issue in each situation. Nonetheless, most managersare reluctant to admit to political character of their own work settings.Discuss any Five (5) Political tactics you know.
