- The owner of a restaurant in Bloomington, Indiana, has recorded sales data for the past 19 years. He has also recorded data on potentially relevant variables. The data are listed in the file P13_17.xlsx. a. Estimate a simple regression equation involving annual sales (the dependent variable) and the size of the population residing within 10 miles of the restaurant (the explanatory variable). Interpret R-square for this regression. b. Add another explanatory variableannual advertising expendituresto the regression equation in part a. Estimate and interpret this expanded equation. How does the R-square value for this multiple regression equation compare to that of the simple regression equation estimated in part a? Explain any difference between the two R-square values. How can you use the adjusted R-squares for a comparison of the two equations? c. Add one more explanatory variable to the multiple regression equation estimated in part b. In particular, estimate and interpret the coefficients of a multiple regression equation that includes the previous years advertising expenditure. How does the inclusion of this third explanatory variable affect the R-square, compared to the corresponding values for the equation of part b? Explain any changes in this value. What does the adjusted R-square for the new equation tell you?arrow_forwardThe Baker Company wants to develop a budget to predict how overhead costs vary with activity levels.

- For the E-Commerce Retail Sales (Million$) data given in the table below, provide estimates from the 1st Quarter (Q1) of 2016 to the 3rd Quarter (Q3) of 2017 by using two models: 1) Single Exponential Smoothing with α=0.3 2) Moving Average with k=2.

Which forecasting method appears to be better? Using the model you choose, provide forecast for the 4th Quarter (Q4) of 2017. Assuming that this model is overestimating, find the actual value of the Q4 of 2017 based on MAPE value.
