Explanation / Answer

Answer:

(a)

Use the data to develop an estimated regression with the amount of television advertising as the independent variable.

Let x represent the amount of television advertising.

If required, round your answers to four decimal places. For subtractive or negative numbers use a minus sign even if there is a + sign before the blank. (Example: -300)

= -45.7168 + 40.0914 x

Test for a significant relationship between television advertising and weekly gross revenue at the 0.05 level of significance. What is the interpretation of this relationship?

Calculated t=2.752, P=0.0332 which is < 0.05 level . Ho is rejected. There is significant relationship between television advertising and weekly gross revenue.

How much of the variation in the sample values of weekly gross revenue does the model in part (a) explain?

If required, round your answer to two decimal places.

(c)

Use the data to develop an estimated regression equation with both television advertising and newspaper advertising as the independent variables.

Let x1 represent the amount of television advertising.

Let x2 represent the amount of newspaper advertising.

If required, round your answers to four decimal places. For subtractive or negative numbers use a minus sign even if there is a + sign before the blank. (Example: -300)

= -46.7194 + 23.2442 x1 + 19.4345 x2

Test whether each of the regression parameters 0, 1, and 2 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?

When Television Advertising increases by $100, the weekly gross revenue increases by $23.2442( in $100).

When Newspaper Advertising increases by $100, the weekly gross revenue increases by $19.4345( in $100).

There is no meaningful interpretation for 0.
