Consumer Research, Inc., is an independent agency that conducts research on consumer attitudes and behaviors for a variety of firms. In one study, a client asked for an investigation of consumer characteristics that can be used to predict the amount charged by credit card users. Data were collected on annual income, household size, and annual credit card charges for a sample of 50 consumers. The following data are contained in the file named Consumer.   Use methods of descriptive statistics to summarize the data. Comment on the findings. Develop estimated regression equations, first using annual income as the independent variable and then using household size as the independent variable. Which variable is the better predictor of annual credit card charges? Discuss your findings. Develop an estimated regression equation with annual income and household size as the independent variables. Test the significance of the overall model at 95% confidence. Write your hypothesis. Test the significance of regression parameters at 95% confidence level. Comment on at least two of the regression assumptions for your multiple regression equation. Do you think there might be any violations of regression assumptions? What is the forecasted annual credit card charge for a three-person household with an annual income of $40,000? Create 95% prediction interval for your prediction.
