Answer to Problem 2.34E

The mean and standard deviation is 3.5582 and 2.9139 .

Explanation of Solution

Given information: The data is,

    Washington0Van Buren4Buchanan0
    Adams5W.H. Harrison10Lincoln4
    Jefferson6Tyler*15A. Johnson5
    Madison0Polk0Grant4
    Monroe2Taylor6Hayes8

    Taft3Eisenhower2G.H.W. Bush6
    Wilson*3Kennedy3Clinton1
    Harding0L.B.Johmson2G.W. Bush2
    Obama2

Calculation:

The mean is,

  x¯=xn=15343=3.5582

The variance is,

  s2=1n1[ x i 2 ( x ) 2n]=1431[901 ( 153 ) 243]=8.4906

The standard deviation is,

  s=8.4906=2.9139

Thus, the mean and standard deviation is 3.5582 and 2.9139 .

Answer to Problem 2.34E

The percentage falling into the given intervalsis 95% and 99.7% .

Explanation of Solution

Given information: The data is,

    Washington0Van Buren4Buchanan0
    Adams5W.H. Harrison10Lincoln4
    Jefferson6Tyler*15A. Johnson5
    Madison0Polk0Grant4
    Monroe2Taylor6Hayes8

    Taft3Eisenhower2G.H.W. Bush6
    Wilson*3Kennedy3Clinton1
    Harding0L.B.Johmson2G.W. Bush2
    Obama2

Calculation:

The interval is,

  (x¯±s)=3.5582±2.9139=(0.6443,6.4721)

The measurement falling into the intervals are 33.

The interval is,

  (x¯±2s)=3.5582±2×2.9139=(2.2696,9.386)

The measurement falling into the intervals are 41.

The interval is,

  (x¯±3s)=3.5582±3×2.9139=(5.1835,12.2999)

The measurement falling into the intervals are 42.

According to the Empirical formula the percentage of values falling into the intervals are 95% and 99.7%

Thus, the percentage falling into the given intervals is 95% and 99.7% .

Hi, I need to make sure I have drafted a thorough analysis, so please answer the following questions. Based on the data in the attached image, develop a regression model to forecast the average sales of football magazines for each of the seven home games in the upcoming season (Year 10). That is, you should construct a single regression model and use it to estimate the average demand for the seven home games in Year 10. In addition to the variables provided, you may create new variables based on these variables or based on observations of your analysis. Be sure to provide a thorough analysis of your final model (residual diagnostics) and provide assessments of its accuracy. What insights are available based on your regression model?
I want to make sure that I included all possible variables and observations. There is a considerable amount of data in the images below, but not all of it may be useful for your purposes. Are there variables contained in the file that you would exclude from a forecast model to determine football magazine sales in Year 10? If so, why? Are there particular observations of football magazine sales from previous years that you would exclude from your forecasting model? If so, why?
