In: Statistics and Probability
Discuss the appropriate statistical technique that can explain the variation in the daily sales because of the daily inventory holding cost Post-COVID-19 post COVID 19. Justify your answer.
Since I answered previous question, I think the data is same because you have not provided.
Pre-covid 19
Linear relationship is not good but sales increase with increase in cost
This means that for 1 unit increase in x there is 0.3014 units increase in y.
better
This means that for one unit increase in x there is (-2.5213+37.457=34.9357) 34.9357 units increase in y.
even better as R-sq increases
Best with 99.78% variability in Sales explained by Inventory Cost (X)
Now,
Post Covid =19 for same plot:
This means that for 1 unit increase in x there is 1.1523 units decrease in y
Linear is also meaningful here as it explains 77.45% variability but here, sales decrease with increase in cost
So, model/relationship has indeed changed
Please rate my answer and comment for doubt.
