Use data on tab “printers data.”
--Run a regression with “Cartridges” as the dependent variable and “Printers” as the independent variable. Place the regression output at cell “I2.”
--Create a scatter plot with “printers” as the x-axis and “cartridges” as the y-axis.
Place the plot in cell “I22.”
--In cell C2 type “Forecast.” In column C, create a cartridge forecast for each printer quantity
--In cell D2 type “%error”. In column D calculate the percentage error for each forecasted quantity from each actual cartridge value.
--In cell E2 type “ABS[A-F]” and in that column calculate the absolute value of each actual (column B) versus each forecast (column C).
--In cell F2 type “Sum ABS[A-F]”
--In cell F3 sum the values of column E
--In Cell G2 type “MAD”

An insurance company determines that a linear relationship exists between the cost of fire damage in major
residential fıres and the distance from the house to the nearest fire station. A sample of 15 recent fires in a
large suburb of a major city was selected. For each fire, the following variables were recorded:
x= the distance between the fire and the nearest fire station (in miles)
y= cost of damage (in dollars)
The distances between the fire and the nearest fire station ranged between 0.7 miles and 6.1 miles.
The correlation between cost and distance is 0.961. Test if the correlation is significant at a=.10.
O No, the correlation is not significant because 0.961 does not exceed the critical value.
O Yes, the correlation is significant because 0.961 exceeds the critical value.
No, the correlation is not significant because 0.961 exceeds the critical value.
O Yes, the correlation is significant because 0.961 does not exceed the critical value.
O No, the correlation is not…

- This study aims to find the correlation between the number of weeks of gestation and the weight of the baby at birth. The data consists of a sample of 15 births. It takes the number of weeks of gestation as the x variable of the plot and the weight of the baby at birth as the y variable. We are using MS Excel 2016 for analyzing this data.

- Are cigarettes bad for people? Cigarette smoking involves tar, carbon monoxide, and nicotine (measured in milligrams). The first two are definitely not good for a person's health, and the last ingredient can cause addiction.

- Measuring the height of a California redwood tree is very difficult because these trees grow to heights of over 300 feet. People familiar with these trees understand that the height of a California redwood tree is related to other characteristics of the tree, including the diameter of the tree at the breast height of a person. The data in the table represent the height (in feet) and diameter (in inches) at the breast height of a person for a sample of 21 California redwood trees. Assuming a linear relationship, use the least- squares method to compute the regression coefficients b0 and b1. State the regression equation that predicts the height of a tree based on the tree’s diameter at breast height of a person. Interpret the meaning of the slope in this equation. Predict the mean height for a tree that has a breast height diameter of 25 inches.
