Suppose that the PMI and your business sales data for the last 10 months are the following: 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 42.1 43.6 42.4 38.3 40.7 44.9 46.9 49.4 49.3 51.7 117 Month: PMI: Sale (1000s): 121 122 121 114 121 120 133 130 140 a. Construct a causal regression model using PMIl as the causal variable. How well does your model fit the data? (Enter r-squared as decimal (not percent). Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) Sales (1000s) = R? = (PMI) + b. Suppose that the PMI is truly a leading indicator. That is, the PMI value in one period influences sales in the following period. b-1. Construct a new regression model using this information. (Enter r-squared as decimal (not percent). Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) Sales (1000s) R2 = (PMI)+arrow_forward
