1. Develop a simple linear regression equation for starting salaries using an independent
variable that has the closest relationship with the salaries. Explain how you chose this
variable.
Cannister, Inc., specializes in the manufacture of plastic containers.The data on the monthly sales of 10-ounce shampoo bottles for the past 5 years are as follows:a. Using the multiplicative seasonal method, calculate the monthly seasonal indices.b. Develop a simple linear regression equation to forecast annual sales. For this regression, the dependent variable, Y, is the demand in each year and the independent variable, X, is the index for the year (i.e.,X = 1 for year 1, X = 2 for year 2, and so on until X = 5 for year 5). c. Forecast the annual sales for year 6 by using the regression model you developed in part (b).d. Prepare the seasonal forecast for each month by using the monthly seasonal indices calculated in part (a).
1. An analyst hired by the multinational company to study the sales data of its more than 75 stores worldwide. Used regression analysis to predict $ sales (y) by using $ advertising (x1) and $ salary of sales representatives (x2) across all the branches. You obtained the following regression function: y = 7800 + 8.5x1-1.6x2. If the advertising budgets of one of the branches of the corporation is now $45,000 (which is 10% more than before) and the salary of sales representatives is now $8,500 (which is 20% less than before), then the predicted sales before in that branch is

- The county assessor is studying housing demand and is interested in developing a regression model to estimate the market value (i.e., selling price) of residential property within his jurisdiction. The assessor suspects that the most important variable affecting selling price (measured in thousands of dollars) is the size of house (measured in hundreds of square feet). He randomly selects 15 houses and measures both the selling price and size, as shown in the following table. Complete the table and then use it to determine the estimated regression line.
