Past class data has shown that the regression line relating the final exam score and the midterm exam score for students who take statistics from the College of Information Technology and Engineering from Dr. Kalaw is: final exam = 50 + 0.5 × midterm One interpretation of the slope is a. students only receive half as much credit (.5) for a correct answer on the final exam compared to a correct answer on the midterm exam. b. a student who scored 0 on the midterm would be predicted to score 50 on the final exam. c. a student who scored 10 points higher than another student on the midterm would be predicted to score 5 points higher than the other student on the final exam. d. a student who scored 0 on the final exam would be predicted to score 50 on the midterm exam.
A manufacturer is developing a facility plan to provide production capacity for its factory. The amount of capacity required in the future depends on the number of products demanded by its customers. The data below reflect past sales of its products: Year Annual Sales (number of products) Year Annual Sales (number of products) 1 490 5 461 2 487 6 475 3 492 7 472 4 478 8 458 Use simple linear regression to forecast annual demand for the products for each of the next three (3) years, by using the tabular method to: derive the values for the intercept and slope derive the linear equation plot the linear regression line develop a forecast for the firm’s annual sales for each of the next three years

The following data relate the sales figures of restaurant, to the number of customers registered that week: Week Customers Sales (SR) First 16 330 Second 12 270 Third 18 380 Fourth 14 300 a) Perform a linear regression that relates bar sales to guests (not to time). b) If the forecast is for 20 guests next week, what are the sales expected to be?
Given the regression equationY = 43 + 10Xa. What is the change in Y when X changes by +8?b. What is the change in Y when X changes by -6?c. What is the predicted value of Y when X = 11? d. What is the predicted value of Y when X = 29? e. Does this equation prove that a change in X causes a change in Y?

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
In the December, 1969, American Economic Review (pp. 886-896), Nathanial Leff reports thefollowing least squares regression results for a cross section study of the effect of age composition onsavings in 74 countries in 1964:log S/Y = 7.3439 + 0.1596 log Y/N + 0.0254 log G - 1.3520 log D1 - 0.3990 log D2 (R2= 0.57)log S/N = 8.7851 + 1.1486 log Y/N + 0.0265 log G - 1.3438 log D1 - 0.3966 log D2 (R2= 0.96)where S/Y = domestic savings ratio, S/N = per capita savings, Y/N = per capita income, D1 = percentage ofthe population under 15, D2 = percentage of the population over 64, and G = growth rate of per capitaincome. Are these results correct? Explain..
