If administrators could determine the factors that could lead to increases in the percentage of alumni who make a donation, they might be able to implement policies that could lead to increased revenues. Research shows that students who are more satisfied with their contact with teachers are more likely to graduate. As a result, one might suspect that smaller class sizes and lower student/faculty ratios might lead to a higher percentage of satisfied graduates, which in turn might lead to increases in the percentage of alumni who make a donation. The following table shows data for 48 national universities. The Graduation Rate column is the percentage of students who initially enrolled at the university and graduated. The % of Classes Under 20 column shows the percentages of classes with fewer than 20 students that are offered. The Student/Faculty Ratio column is the number of students enrolled divided by the total number of faculty. Finally, the Alumni Giving Rate column is the percentage of alumni who made a donation to the university. Managerial Report 1. Use methods of descriptive statistics to summarize the data. 2. Develop an estimated simple linear regression model that can be used to predict the alumni giving rate, given the graduation rate. Discuss your findings. 3. Develop an estimated multiple linear regression model that could be used to predict the alumni giving rate using the Graduation Rate, % of Classes Under 20, and Student/Faculty Ratio as independent variables. Discuss your findings. 4. Based on the results in parts (2) and (3), do you believe another regression model may be more appropriate? Estimate this model, and discuss your results. 5. What conclusions and recommendations can you derive from your analysis? What universities are achieving a substantially higher alumni giving rate than would be expected, given their Graduation Rate, % of Classes Under 20, and Student/Faculty Ratio?

- As was discussed in the Analytics in Action from Chapter 2, the U.S. Census Bureau is a leading source of quantitative data related to the people and economy of the United States. The crosstabulation below represents the number of households (1,000s) and the household income by the highest level of education for the head of household (U.S. Census Bureau web site, 2013). Use this crosstabulation to answer the following questions. a. Develop a joint probability table. b. What is the probability the head of one of these households has a masters degree or higher education? c. What is the probability a household is headed by someone with a high school diploma earning 100,000 or more? d. What is the probability one of these households has an income below 25,000? e.

- We have focused mainly on the financial statements and ratios this week. You decide to practice what you have learned by preparing your own personal balance sheet and income statement as of last month.

How can this analysis help you in terms of spending?arrow_forwardThe Scholastic Aptitude Test (or SAT) is a standardized college entrance test that is used by colleges and universities as a means for making admission decisions. The critical reading and mathematics components of the SAT are reported on a scale from 200 to 800. Several universities believe these scores are strong predictors of an incoming student’s potential success, and they use these scores as important inputs when making admission decisions on potential freshman. The tile RugglesCollege contains freshman year GPA and the critical reading and mathematics SAT scores for a random sample of 200 students who recently completed their freshman year at Ruggles College. Develop an estimated multiple regression equation that includes critical reading and mathematics SAT scores as independent variables. How much variation in freshman GPA is explained by this model? Test whether each of the regression parameters β0, β1, and β2, is equal to zero at a 0.05 level of significance. What are the correct interpretations of the estimated regression parameters? Are these interpretations reasonable? Using the multiple linear regression model you developed in part (a), what is the predicted freshman GPA of Bobby Engle, a student who has been admitted to Ruggles College with a 660 SAT score on critical reading and at a 630 SAT score on mathematics? The Ruggles College Director of Admissions believes that the relationship between a student’s scores on the critical reading component of the SAT and the student’s freshman GPA varies with the student’s score on the mathematics component of the SAT. Develop an estimated multiple regression equation that includes critical reading and mathematics SAT scores and their interaction as independent variables. How much variation in freshman GPA is explained by this model? Test whether each of the regression parameters β0, β1, β2, and β3 is equal to zero at a 0.05 level of significance. What are the correct interpretations of the estimated regression parameters? Do these results support the conjecture made by the Ruggles College Director of Admissions? Do you prefer the estimated regression model developed in part (a) or part (c)? Explain. What other factors could be included in the model as independent variables?arrow_forwardYou have been asked by your manager to review three potential investment opportunities.
