A company sets different prices for a particular DVD system in eight different regions of the country. The accompanying table shows the numbers of units sold and the corresponding prices (in dollars). Sales 420 380 350 400 440 380 450 420 Price 104 195 148 204 96 256 141 109a. Graph these data, and estimate the linear regression of sales on price. b. What effect would you expect a $50 increase in price to have on sales?

2. Suppose you run a regression with quantity as your dependent variable and advertising as one of your independent variables. The p-value on advertising is .08. The marketing team is arguing that their advertising efforts are impacting sales, but the finance/economics department is arguing that there isn’t evidence that the advertising is impacting sales. What side would you take and why? Note that this question squarely hits the idea that stats is part science/part art...

Sally Sells Sea Shells by the Sea Shore and collects all sales dataNow she is curious to find out what the elasticity of demand is for her shells Assume they are all the same type and quantity She scatter plots the data and finds there is a linear relationship that looks ripe for a regression estimation of the price response function for her shells The slope of her regression line is 61. Currently, her average daily price is 11.74 and she sells 95 quantity at that priceCalculate the point elasticity of demand for her sea shells
