Question A1 The following regression results were obtained from a regression of Total Crime Rates in the US (Y) on Life expectancy of South Africa (X), Y = -24569 +628.9X R 2 = 0.929 (−6.03) (9.04) What do you understand by the term 'spurious regression'? Are the reported results evidence of a spurious regression? Explain fully.

The following data relate the sales figures of the bar in Mark Kaltenbach's small bed-and-breakfast inn in portland, to the number of guest registered that week: week guests bar sales 1 16 $330 2 12 $270 3 18 $380 4 14 $315 a) The simple linear regression equation that relates bar sales to number of guests(not to time) is (round your responses to one decimal place): Bar sales = [___]+[___]X guests
Consider the following estimated regression model relating annual salary to years of education and work experience. Estimated Salary=10,160.10+3147.75(Education)+1230.34(Experience) Suppose an employee with 8 years of education has been with the company for 20 years (note that education years are the number of years after 8th grade). According to this model, what is his estimated annual salary?

The Weibracht Corporation designs and manufactures custom beer steins for some of the numerous brew pubs in western North Carolina. Each stein costs Weibracht $8 to produce. The brew pubs purchase the steins from Weibracht for resale to their customers and require a 51% margin. Weibracht’s marketing director has conducted a regression analysis using historical data, resulting in the following regression line: q = -12 * p + 326, where q = slope * retail price + MWB What is the profit maximizing price that Weibracht should charge the brew pubs for these custom steins?
Investigate what factors determine the number of times a person logs into Facebook per week. It is argued that these four factors are important: number of friends, age in years, whether the person is employed, and whether the student has a Twitter account. That is: FACEBOOK LOGIN=f(FRIENDS,AGE,EMPLOYED,TWITTER) Do you think other relevant explanatory variables should also be included? Name any two such variables and explain why they should be included in the regression.
Suppose you have run four regression models: A, B, C, and D. You are going to make a decision on which one to use just based on the adjusted r² value. Here are the adjusted r² values for each model: A: 0.71 B: 0.57 C: 0.65 D: 0.76 Which regression model would you choose based on the adjusted r²? OD since it has the highest adjusted r² value B since it has the lowest adjusted r² OC since it has an adjusted r² between the adjusted r² of regressions B and D. Either B or C since they have the lowest adjusted r²
