A marketing firm is tracking the effectiveness of its
new Instagram advertising campaign on Californian users.
They are measuring 6 different variables to determine how
successful the campaign has been. The manager is
interested in the following variables: the number of times
an account has seen their advertisement (views) and the
amount of money spent on the product given the
advertisement (sales) was seen. The manager also
collected demographic information based on who viewed
the advertisement: age (i.e., Baby Boomers, Generation X,
Millennials, and Generation Z), gender, ethnicity, and
income level (i.e., Low Income and Upper Income). The
marketing firm is interested in determining how the
different demographic variables affect the number of
views and sales of the product.
List the variables in this scenario (i.e., 1. ____, 2. ____,..., ).
A manager of a large corporation recommends a $10,000 raise be given to keep a valuedsubordinate from moving to another company. What internal and external sources of datamight be used to decide whether such a salary increase is appropriate?

Suppose an organizational psychologist is interested in the relationships between job satisfaction, job performance and job compensation. She has data for five different counties on the average monthly salaries paid to computer programmers.

The cost of a previously owned Camry depends upon many factors, including the model year, mileage, and condition. To investigate the relationship between the car's mileage and the sales price for a 2007 model year Camry, the following data show the mileage and sale price for 19 sales (PriceHub website, February 24,2012). a. Develop a scatter diagram with the car mileage on the horizontal axis and the price on the vertical b. What does the scatter diagram developed in part (a) indicate about the relationship between the two variables? c. Develop the estimated regression equation that could be used to predict the price ($1000s) given the miles (1000s). d. Test for a significant relationship at the .05 level of significance. e.

- Sociologists argued that women on average earn less than men as women often choose to work less hours. They further suggest that the choice of hours worked may be driven by various factors such as age, childcare needs, occupation choice and flexibility. To investigate the relation between hours worked and income earned by Australian men and women, a researcher plans to survey a sample of individuals across the country. First, the researcher categorised the data into six location groups and six occupation groups, and calculated the frequencies given below. Frequency tables Location Occupation Location category Frequency Occupation category Frequency Location group A 5 Occupation group 1 4 Location group B 7 Occupation group 2 26 Location group C 12 Occupation group 3 15 Location group D 25 Occupation group 4 12 Location group E 10…arrow_forwardTo help consumers in purchasing a laptop computer, Consumer Reports calculates an overall test score for each computer tested based upon rating factors such as ergonomics, portability, performance, display, and battery life.
