Chapter 15, Problem 7PS

Researchers wanted to investigate the relationship between employment and accommodation capacity in the European travel and tourism industry. The file EuroTourism contains a sample of 27 European countries. Variables included are the number of jobs generated in the travel and tourism industry in 2015 and the number of establishments that provide overnight accommodation for tourists.

a. Construct a scatter plot of the number of jobs generated in the travel and tourism industry in 2015 Y and the number of establishments that provide overnight accommodation for tourists X .

b. Fit a quadratic regression model to predict the number of jobs generated and state the quadratic regression equation.

c. Predict the mean number of jobs generated in the travel and tourism industry for a country with 3,000 establishments that provide overnight accommodation for tourists.

d. Perform a residual analysis on the results and determine whether the regression model is valid.

e. At The 0.05 level of significance, is there a significant quadratic relationship between the number of jobs generated in the travel and tourism industry in 2015 and the number of establishments that provide overnight accommodation for tourists?

f. What is the p-value in (e)? interpret its meaning.

g. At the 0.05 level of significance, determine whether the quadratic model is a better fit than the linear model.

h. Interpret the meaning of the coefficient of multiple determination.

i Compute the adjusted r 2 .

j. What conclusions can you reach concerning the relationship between the number of jobs generated in the travel and tourism industry in 2015 and the number of establishments that provide overnight accommodation for tourists?

Question 2: When John started his first job, his first end-of-year salary was $82,500. In the following years, he received salary raises as shown in the following table. Fill the Table: Fill the following table showing his end-of-year salary for each year. I have already provided the end-of-year salaries for the first three years. Calculate the end-of-year salaries for the remaining years using Excel. (If you Excel answer for the top 3 cells is not the same as the one in the following table, your formula / approach is incorrect) (2 points) Geometric Mean of Salary Raises: Calculate the geometric mean of the salary raises using the percentage figures provided in the second column named “% Raise”. (The geometric mean for this calculation should be nearly identical to the arithmetic mean. If your answer deviates significantly from the mean, it's likely incorrect. 2 points) Starting salary % Raise Raise Salary after raise 75000 10% 7500 82500 82500 4% 3300…
