Use Excel to Run the Regressions:1. Wage and Age: Do you think a worker’s wage is related to his/her age? It is expected that wagesincrease with age up to certain age, after that wages go down. The “Wage Quadratic Data” fileposted contains data on the hourly wage (in $) for construction workers, workers’ ageand whether the worker has a bachelor’s degree or not (Graduate equals 1 if the worker has abachelor’s degree and 0 otherwise). Use the data file to answer the following questions:A) Build a model to predict the hourly wage of construction workers based on their education andage.B) Use the model to predict the hourly wage for a college graduate construction worker if his/herage is 30, 50, and 70c) Based on your model, calculate the age at which the hourly wage for construction workers ismaximized.

Click the icon to view the monthly data.
a. Develop a simple linear regression model between billable hours and overhead costs.
Overhead Costs = 247733.3 +(43.2000) x Billable Hours
(Round the constant to one decimal place as needed. Round the coefficient to four decimal places as needed. Do not include the $ symbol in your answers.)
b. Interpret the coefficients of your regression model. Specifically, what does the fixed component of the model mean to the consulting firm?
Interpret the fixed term, bo. if appropriate. Choose the correct answer below.
OA. The value of by is the predicted overhead costs for 0 billable hours.
OB. For each increase of 1 unit in overhead costs, the predicted billable hours are estimated to increase by bo

Survey your classmates to determine what price they would be willing to pay for a candy bar. Your survey form might look like the sample to the left. a Make a table of the number of respondents who answered yes at each price level. b Make a scatter plot of your data. c Find and graph the regression line y=mp+b, which gives the number of respondents y who would buy a candy bar if the price were p cents. This is the demand equation. Why is the slope m negative? d What is the p-intercept of the demand equation? What does this intercept tell you about pricing candy bars?
