Chapter 7, Problem 11P
The American Association of Individual Investors (AAII) On-Line Discount Broker Survey polls members on their experiences with electronic trades handled by discount brokers. As part of the survey, members were asked to rate their satisfaction with the trade price and the speed of execution, as well as provide an overall satisfaction rating. Possible responses (scores) were no opinion (0), unsatisfied (1), somewhat satisfied (2), satisfied (3), and very satisfied (4). For each broker, summary scores were computed by computing a weighted average of the scores provided by each respondent. A portion the survey results follow (AAII web site. February 7, 2012).
- a. Develop an estimated regression equation using trade price and speed of execution to predict overall satisfaction with the broker. Interpret the coefficient of determination.
- b. Use the t test to determine the significance of each independent variable. What are your conclusions at the 0.05 level of significance?
- c. Interpret the estimated regression parameters. Are the relationships indicated by these estimates what you would expect?
- d. Finger Lakes Investments has developed a new electronic trading system and would like to predict overall customer satisfaction assuming they can provide satisfactory service levels (3) for both trade price and speed of execution. Use the estimated regression equation developed in part (a) to predict overall satisfaction level for Finger Lakes Investments if they can achieve these performance levels.
- e. What concerns (if any) do you have with regard to the possible responses the respondents could select on the survey.

- Purchasing magazine reported the results of a survey in which buyers were asked a series of questions with regard to internet usage. One question asked was how they would use the internet if security and other issues could be resolved. Seventy-eight percent said they would use it for pricing information, 75% said they would use it to send purchase orders, and 70% said they would use it for purchase order acknowledgments. Assume that these percentages hold true for all buyers. A researcher randomly samples 20 buyers and asked them how they would use the internet if security and other issues could be resolved. What is the probability that all of the buyers would use the internet to send purchase orders?arrow_forwardMr. William Profit is studying companies going public for the first time.

For each school, three variables were measured: (1) GMAT score for the typical incoming student; (2) student acceptance rate (percentage accepted of all students who applied); and (3) starting salary of the typical graduating student. An academic advisor wants to predict the typical starting salary of a graduate at a top business school using GMAT score of the school as a predictor variable. The results of a simple linear regression of SALARY versus GMAT using the 25 data points are shown below.

However, because 54% of first marriages end in divorce, social scientists have begun investigating influences on marital satisfaction. (Data Source: National Center for Health Statistics.) A counseling psychologist sets out to look at the role of having children in relationship longevity. She decides to measure marital satisfaction in a group of couples with children and a group of childless couples. She chooses the Marital Satisfaction Inventory, because it refers to "partner" and "relationship" rather than "spouse" and "marriage," which makes it useful for research with both traditional and nontraditional couples. Higher scores on the Marital Satisfaction Inventory indicate greater satisfaction. Assume that these scores are normally distributed.
