Question

The planning director of an electronics company is interested in finding out the effect of research and development (R&D;) expenditure on company profits (in rands) He has obtained expenditure and profit data from six companies operating in the same market as his company. Sigma X^2 = 5575 Sigma Y^2 = 18050 Sigma XY = 10000 Sigma x = 175 Sigma Y = 320 The coefficient of determination is 1. 0.9798 2. 0.9600 3. 0.9898 4 0.9900 5. 0.9801 Consider the information on question 13, which one of the following statements is incorrect? 1. The mean of X = 29 1667 and the mean of Y = 53.333 2 The slope is 1.4160 3 The y-intercept is 12 0354 4. The equation line is Y_1 = 1.4160 + 12.0354X_1 5. The relationship is very strong. Consider the information on question 13, the estimated profit for R&D; expenditure of 23 will be? 1. R44.60 2. R12.0354 3. R141.60 4. R40.00 5. R70.00

Explanation / Answer

PERFORM REGRESSION IN EXCEL

coefficient of determination =R sq from the above output

=0.959952

=0.96

OPTION 2

Solution14:

Regression eq

y=12.035+1.415x

slope is 1.415

y intercept =12.035

since r=0.979

relationship is strong

OPTION4 IS INCORRECT

OPTION4

Solution15;

mean of X=29.17

mean of Y=53.33

y=12.035+1.415x

for x=23

y=12.035+1.415(23)

y=44.58

y=44.6
