Chapter 8, Problem 8.13P

S O C At St. Algebra College, the sociology and psychology departments have been feuding for years about the respective quality of their programs. In an attempt to resolve the dispute, you have gathered data about the graduate school experience of rand on samples of both groups of majors. As measured by these data, is there a significant difference in program quality?

a. Proportion of majors who applied to graduate school:

Sample 1
(Sociology)
Sample 2
(Psychology)
P s 1 = 0.53 P s 2 = 0.40
N 1 = 150 N 2 = 175

b. Proportion accepted by program of first choice:

Sample 1
(Sociology)
Sample 2
(Psychology)
P s 1 = 0.75 P s 2 = 0.86
N 1 = 80 N 2 = 70

c. Proportion completing the program:

Sample 1
(Sociology)
Sample 2
(Psychology)
P s 1 = 0.75 P s 2 = 0.70
N 1 = 60 N 2 = 60

Hi, I need to make sure I have drafted a thorough analysis, so please answer the following questions. Based on the data in the attached image, develop a regression model to forecast the average sales of football magazines for each of the seven home games in the upcoming season (Year 10). That is, you should construct a single regression model and use it to estimate the average demand for the seven home games in Year 10. In addition to the variables provided, you may create new variables based on these variables or based on observations of your analysis. Be sure to provide a thorough analysis of your final model (residual diagnostics) and provide assessments of its accuracy. What insights are available based on your regression model?
I want to make sure that I included all possible variables and observations. There is a considerable amount of data in the images below, but not all of it may be useful for your purposes. Are there variables contained in the file that you would exclude from a forecast model to determine football magazine sales in Year 10? If so, why? Are there particular observations of football magazine sales from previous years that you would exclude from your forecasting model? If so, why?
