In year 11, if the robbery rate increases to 133.40, using trend analysis, the number of patients Dr. Fok will see = patients (round your response to two decimal places).
In year 11, if the robbery rate decreases to 90.6, using trend analysis, the number of patients Dr. Fok will see =

A random sample of 10,000 customers was selected over a six month period. The data provides information on their current status with the bank as well as 12 additional attributes describing their demographic and banking information.
what are the key predictors the bank should be aware of with their customers? Examples are included, but not limited to:Are female customers leaving more than males? Is there indication of customer departures associated with specific countries?Is there evidence of salary associated departures?

- The Baker Company wants to develop a budget to predict how overhead costs vary with activity levels. Management is trying to decide whether direct labor hours (DLH) or units produced is the better measure of activity for the firm. Monthly data for the preceding 24 months appear in the file P13_40.xlsx. Use regression analysis to determine which measure, DLH or Units (or both), should be used for the budget. How would the regression equation be used to obtain the budget for the firms overhead costs?arrow_forwardThe 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_forwardYou work as a sales operations analyst in a company that makes 3D printers.
