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=2.737, P=0.0339 < 0.05 level. The relation is significant.

When there is one unit( $100) increase in television advertising, there is increase of $40.064(in $100) in Weekly Gross Revenue.

(b)

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

55.52% variation are explained.

(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)

Is the overall regression statistically significant at the 0.05 level of significance? If so, then 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?

For testing the model, F=34.39, P=0.0012 < 0.05, the model is significant.

For testing 0, calculated t=-1.491, P=0.1961 > 0.05 level, not significant.

For testing 1, calculated t=3.156, P=0.0252 < 0.05 level, significant.

For testing 2, calculated t= 5.274, P=0.0033 < 0.05 level, significant.

When there is one unit( $100) increase in television advertising, there is increase of $22.4022(in $100) in Weekly Gross Revenue.

When there is one unit( $100) increase in newspaper advertising, there is increase of $19.4986(in $100) in Weekly Gross Revenue.

The interpretations reasonable.

(d)

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

93.22 %

(e)

Given the results in part (a) and part (c), what should your next step be? Explain.

Both television advertising and newspaper advertising are good in predicting Weekly Gross Revenue.

(f)

What are the managerial implications of these results?

The management should use both television advertising and newspaper advertising to increase the Weekly Gross Revenue.
