A Manager wants to know whether the level of Sale (Y) in Peshawar regions in 6 months after Advertisement could be predicted with strategy (X1) and (X2).
(a)The least squares estimation equation involving both independent variables is given by Y = -0.628 + 23.639(X1) – 7.147(X2)
Using this equation, determine the predicted level of Sale (Y) for Peshawar region with scores of 2.80 on Strategy X1 and 7.0 on Strategy X2. How does the predicted value obtained compare with the actual value of 25 observed for this region?
(b)Using the analysis of variance tables below, carry out the overall F test for each of three models: i) model with X1 alone; ii) model with X2 alone; and iii) model with both X1 and X2
(c)Based on your results in part (b), how would you rate the importance of the two variables in predicting Y?
(d)What are the R 2 values for the three regressions referred to in part (b)?
(e)Based on the above, in your opinion, which is the best model involving either one or both of the…
According to the World Health Organization, obesity has reached epidemic proportions globally. While obesity has generally been linked with chronic disease and disability, researchers argue that it may also affect wages. In other words, the body mass index (BMI) of an employee is a predictor for salary. (A person is considered overweight if his/her BMI is at least 25 and obese if BMI exceeds 30.) The accompanying data file includes salary (in $1,000s) for 30 college-educated men with their respective BMI and a dummy variable that represents 1 for a white man and 0 otherwise.
