Zagat’s publishes restaurant rating for various locations in the United States. The file Restaurants contains the Zagat rating for food, décor, service and cost per person for a sample of 50 center city restaurants and 50 metro area restaurants.
Develop a regression model to predict the cost per person, based on a variable that represents the sum of the rating for food, décor, and service ad a dummy variable concerning location (center city versus metro area). For (a) through (m), do not include an interaction term.
a. State the multiple regression equation.
b. Interpret the regression coefficients in (a).
c. Predict the mean cost for a center city restaurant with a summated rating of 60 and construct a
d. Perform a residual analysis on the model and determine whether the regression assumptions are satisfied.
e. Is there a significant relationship between price and the two independent variable (summated rating and location) at the 0.05 level a significance?
f. At the 0.05 level of significance, determine whether each independent variable makes a contribution to the regression model. Indicate the most appropriate regression model for this set of data.
g. Construct a
h. Compare the slope in (b) with the slope for the simple linear regression model of Problem 13.5 on page 493. Explain the difference in the results.
i. Compute and interpret the meaning of the coefficient of multiple determination.
j. Compute and interpret the adjusted
k. Compare
l. Compute the coefficients of partial determination and interpret their meaning.
m. What assumption about the slope of cost with summated rating do you need to make in this problem?
n. Add an interaction term to the model and, at the 0.05 level of significance, determine whether it makes a significant contribution to the model.
o. On the basis of the results of (f) and (n), which model is most appropriate? Explain.
p. What conclusions can you reach about the effect of the summated rating and the location of the restaurant on the cost of a meal?

- The following regression equation is based on the analysis of four variables: SM_DOLLARS is the dollar amount of a watershed conservation agency's weekly spending on social media ads. RADIO_ADS is the number of radio advertisements aired weekly by the agency. WS_DOLLARS is the dollar amount of the agency’s weekly spending on web search ads. The variable WEB_VISITS is the number of weekly visitors to their educational website. These data have been recorded every week for the past three years. WEB_VISITS (expected) = 208 + 1.25*SM_DOLLARS + 1.5*RADIO_ADS + 1.2*WS_DOLLARS The data meet the assumptions for regression analysis, and the regression results, including the coefficients, were found to be statistically significant. Initially, $320 was spent on social media ads, 10 radio ads were aired, and $120 spent on web search ads. How many additional weekly web visits would you predict when the agency increases its weekly spending on social media ads by $440 without changing the…arrow_forwardA magazine publishes restaurant ratings for various locations around the world. The magazine rates the restaurants for food, decor, service, and the cost per person. Develop a regression model to predict the cost per person, based on a variable that represents the sum of the three ratings. The magazine has compiled the accompanying table of this summated ratings variable and the cost per person for 25 restaurants in a major city. Predict the mean cost per person for a restaurant with a summated rating of 70.arrow_forwardThe largest commercial fishing enterprise in the southeastern United States is the harvest of shrimp. In a study, researchers monitored variables thought to be related to the abundance of white shrimp. One variable the researchers thought might be related to abundance is the amount of oxygen in the water. The relationship between mean catch per tow of white shrimp and oxygen concentration was described by fitting a regression line using data from ten randomly selected offshore sites. (The "catch" per tow is the number of shrimp caught in a single outing.) Computer output is shown below. The regression equation is Mean catch per tow = -5855 + 97.4 O2 Saturation Predictor Coef SE Coef T P Constant -5855 2393 -2.45 0.040 O2 Saturation 97.4 34.62 2.81 0.023 c)Construct a 95% confidence interval for ?.

- A Realtor in Massachusetts is analyzing the relationship between the sale price of a home (in $), it's the square footage (in ft2), the number of bedrooms, the number of bathrooms, and a colonial dummy variable (colonial equals 1 if a colonial-style home; 0 otherwise). The relater collects data of 36 sales in Massachusetts for analysis. The attached file “quiz_dataset1” contains the data. Build a parsimonious linear regression model. Use the model to predict the price of a 2100 ft2 colonial style home with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Select one: a. 570268.3 b. 554347.1 c. 535347.1 d.

The data shows the number of reviews of the property, the number of days available during the year, and whether the rental is a shared space or the entire house/apartment. In addition, the response variables is the daily price of the rental. (A) Code the variable room_type as Entire house = 1 and Shared rental = 0. Report the estimated regression equation predicting the price as a function of number of reviews, availability, and whether it is a shared space or entire house in the space provided below. There are three independent variables and one response variable. (B) In addition, use the model to predict the price for a rental that is the entire house, has 100 reviews, and is available 365 days a year. Write your response in the space provided below. (C) Interpret the slope coefficient for the number of days available variable (availability_365) in context to this problem in the space provided…arrow_forwardA consumer advocacy group recorded several variables on 140 models of cars.
