The following regression model has been proposed to predict sales at a gas station where x1 = their previous day's sales (in $1,000's), x2 = population within 5 miles (in 1,000's), x3 = 1 if any form of advertising was used, 0 if otherwise, and sales (in $1,000's). Predict sales (in dollars) for a store with competitor's previous day's sale of $3,000, a population of 10,000 within 5 miles, and six radio advertisements.

_____ refers to the use of sample data to calculate a range of values that is believed to include the unknown value of a population parameter.

Interval estimation

__________ is a statistical procedure used to develop an equation showing how two variables are related.

Regression analysis

Which of the following gives the correct quadratic regression model?

Sales = 21.92 - 24.55(Months Employed) + 8.06(Months Employed)2

Suppose an estimated regression equation has a coefficient of determination (r2) of 0.866. Interpret this value.

The estimated regression equation explains approximately 86.6% of the variation in the dependent variable.

Found below is Excel output from a quadratic regression analysis based upon the number of cars each employee sold during the most recent sales period and the number of months each salesperson has been employed by the company. Interpret the coefficient of determination for this regression model.

This regression model explains approximately 95.5% of the variation in cars sold for our sample data.

The study of how a dependent variable y is related to two or more independent variables is called

multiple linear regression.

The difference between the observed value of the dependent variable and the value predicted using the estimated regression equation is known as the

residual.

A _____ is used to visualize sample data graphically and to draw preliminary conclusions about the possible relationship between the variables.

scatter chart

Regression analysis involving one independent variable and one dependent variable is referred to as

simple linear regression.

In the simple linear regression equation, the parameter is the _______ of the true regression line.

slope

In the simple linear regression model, the ________ accounts for the variability in the dependent variable that cannot be explained by the linear relationship between x and y.

error term

The term in the multiple regression model that accounts for the variability in y that cannot be explained by the linear effect of the q independent variables is the

error term, E

The _____ is the range of values of the independent variables in the data used to estimate the regression model.

experimental region

Simple linear regression refers to the type of regression analysis for which the relationship between the independent variable and dependent variable are approximated by a(n)

exponential curve.

Prediction of the value of the dependent variable outside the experimental region is called

extrapolation.

The process of making estimates and drawing conclusions about one or more characteristics of a population through analysis of sample data drawn from the population is known as

statistical inference.

When determining the best estimated regression equation to model a set of data, the procedure that uses an iterative variable selection procedure that considers adding an independent variable and removing an independent variable at each step is called

stepwise selection.

The _____ is a measure of the error that results from using the estimated regression equation to predict the values of the dependent variable in a sample.

sum of squares due to error (SSE)

Does the t test indicate a significant relationship between GPA and Aptitude Test Score? State the test statistic, and then state your conclusion. Use ∝ = 0.05.

t = 6.25. The p-value is less than 0.05, so there is evidence is sufficient to conclude that a significant relationship exists between GPA and Aptitude Test Scores.

The procedure of using sample data to find the estimated regression equation is better known as

the least squares method.

If a residual plot of x verses the residuals, , shows a non-linear pattern then we should conclude that

the regression model is not an adequate representation of the relationship between the variables.

The tests of significance in regression analysis are based on assumptions about the error term ε. One such assumption is that the variance of ε, denoted by σ 2 , is

the same for all values of x.

The graph of the simple linear regression equation is a(n) _____.

line

The following regression model has been proposed to predict sales at a gas station where x1 = their previous day's sales (in $1,000's), x2 = population within 5 miles (in 1,000's), x3 = 1 if any form of advertising was used, 0 if otherwise, and sales (in $1,000's). Predict sales (in dollars) for a store with competitor's previous day's sale of $3,000, a population of 10,000 within 5 miles, and twenty radio advertisements.

$86,000

The tests of significance in regression analysis are based on assumptions about the error term ε. One such assumption is that the error term ε is a random variable with a mean or expected value of

0.

In a regression analysis if SSE = 200 and SSR = 300, then the coefficient of determination is

0.6.

What would be the coefficient of determination if the total sum of squares (SST) is 30 and the sum of squares due to regression (SSR) is 27?

0.90 27/30=0.90

What would be the value of the sum of squares due to regression (SSR) if the total sum of squares (SST) is 22.21 and the sum of squares due to error (SSE) is 6.89?

15.32

Consider the Excel output for a simple linear regression model. What is the regression model?

2.64 + 0.016x

Based upon the p-values for "Month" and "Month Squared", what can we conclude about the current model?

Because both p-values are substantially less than 0.05, we can conclude that adding Months Squared to the model involving Months is significant.

The mathematical equation relating the expected value of the dependent variable to the value of the independent variables, which has the form of is called. With the Bs

a multiple regression model.

The multiple regression equation based on the sample data, which has the form is called

an estimated multiple regression equation.

Suppose a residual plot of x verses the residuals, y-y, shows a nonconstant variance. In particular, as the values of x increase, suppose that the value of the residuals also increase. This means that

as the values of x get larger, the ability to predict y becomes less accurate.

A variable used to model the effect of categorical independent variables is called a

dummy variable.

Which of the following options guarantees that the best model for a given number of variables will be found?

best subsets regression.

Which of the following options is NOT an iterative variable selection procedure?

best subsets regression.

When we use the estimated regression equation to develop an interval that can be used to predict the mean for ALL units that meet a particular set of given criteria, that interval is called a

confidence interval.

The process of making conjecture about the value of a population parameter, collecting sample data that can be used to assess this conjecture, measuring the strength of the evidence against the conjecture that is provided by the sample, and using these results to draw a conclusion about the conjecture is known as

hypothesis testing.

Two variables have a positive linear correlation. As the dependent variable increases, the independent variable will

increase.

The tests of significance in regression analysis are based on assumptions about the error term ε. One such assumption is that the values of ε are

independent.

The coefficient of determination

is defined as SSR/SST.

When we use the estimated regression equation to develop an interval that can be used to predict the mean for a specific unit that meets a particular set of given criteria, that interval is called a
