The administrators of a hospital are interested in estimating the total of their hospital.Industry experience dictates that it is related to various factors of which the number of bedsin the hospital, the number of admissions and the number of employees are three. Theadministrators want to benchmark their expenses against similar hospitals and data werecollected on 14 hospitals, as shown in the following table:Hospital Number of beds Admissions (100)Number of employees Expenses (R1 000 000)1.215771306573361604704127520230620515713543233243580146.210155346993714053815458.9061564101593931991050185912116516501112422992151311028179211430598159463Find the best regression model to predict the total expenses of the hospital.

The sales manager of a large automotive parts distributor wants to estimate the total annual sales for each of the company’s regions. Three factors appear to be related to regional sales: the number of retail outlets in the region, the total personal income of the region, and the number of cars registered in the region. The following table shows the data for 10 regions that were gathered for last year sales.

A researcher believed that the number of rental cars in service by a car rental company would have an impact on the total annual revenue for that car rental company. Five small car rental companies were surveyed, with the number of Cars in service recorded in units of 1000 (so if a car rental company had 54000 cars in service, a 54 would be recorded) and Annual Revenue measured in millions of dollars (so an Annual Revenue of $10,000,000 would be recorded as 10). The data follows: Cars (1,000s) Annual Revenue ($ millions)11.5 118 10.0 135 9.0 100 5.5 37 3.3 32 Part of the Excel-generated Simple Linear Regression output is provided below: ANOVA df SS MS F Significance F Regression 1 7891.863897 7891.863897 22.91180151 0.017339231 Residual 3 1033.336103 344.4453677 Total 4 8925.2 Coefficients Standard Error t Stat P-value Intercept -19.12490108 23.1658578…

There is a 54% chance that the regression line will be a good predictor for the percent of seeds that sprout based on the number of seeds produced. There is a large variation in the percent of seeds that sprout, but if you only look at plants that produce a fixed number of seeds, this variation on average is reduced by 54%. 54% of all plants produce seeds whose chance of sprouting is the average chance of sprouting. The equation of the linear regression line is: ˆyy^ = + xx (Please show your answers to…
