- How is the Polynomial Regression model different from the Simple Linear Regression and Multiple Linear Regression models? Select an answer: a. The independent variables are categorical instead of numerical. b. There are multiple dependent variables instead of just one. c. The independent variable is raised to a higher power (squared, cubed, etc.). d. The dependent variable is raised to a higher power (squared, cubed, etc.).arrow_forwardDarrow_forwardassume the final regression equation from the stepwise regression analysis of the dependent variable cost (C) and the 10 potential independent variables is as follows: C = -5000 + 75 D + 0.4 S - 130 PT + 100 NE Given that the final model is valid, interpret the coefficient of NE: On average, a plant constructed in northeast region of USA costs _____ than a plant constructed in other regions, while keeping other variables constant A) 100 dollars more B) 100 millions of dollars more C) 100 millions of dollars less D) 100 dollars lessarrow_forward

For inventory management purposes, you are examining how the weather affects the amount of hot chocolate sold in a day. You are going to gather a random sample of 7 days showing that day's high temperature (denoted by x, in °C) and the amount of hot chocolate sold that day (denoted by y, in liters). You will also note the product x.y of the temperature and amount of hot chocolate sold for each day. (These products are written in the row labeled "xy").
