b. Use the computer output to obtain the coefficient of determination, R2. Interpret your result.
c. Determine and interpret the standard error of the estimate, se.
d. At the 5% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that, taken together, television, magazine, and radio advertising expenditures are useful for predicting sales?

- 4. Housing Prices in New YorkWe have looked at predicting the price (in s) of New York homes based on the size (in thousands of square feet), using the data in HomesForSaleNY. Two other variables in the dataset are the number of bedrooms and the number of bathrooms. Use technology to create a multiple regression model to predict price based on all three variables: size, number of bedrooms, and number of bathrooms.

One of their findings was that firms with high insider ownership choose lower levels of both debt and dividends. Shown here is a sample of data of these three variables for 11 different industries. Use the data to develop the equation of the regression model to predict insider ownership by debt ratio and dividend payout. Comment on the regression coefficients.arrow_forwardA researcher predicts that gender (male and female) and race (race 1, race 2 and race 3) are factors which determine the willingness of a person to get involved in politics.

- The hiring managers want to compare three different employment sources: Newspaper/Magazine, CareerBuilder, and Monster.com. 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_forwardA. Write the equation of the regression line. B.
