(Exam question) A pizza store wants to estimate the quarterly sales based on the student population in town. The following data is obtained:

x = student population
(in 1000s)		 y = quarterly sales
(in $1000s)
2 58
6 105
8 88
8 118
12 117
16 137
20 157
20 169
22 149
26 202

Calculate the regression line. Provide an interpretation of the intercept and slope coefficients. Also give a prediction of sales when the student population is 17 thousand.

I have conducted a linear regression model to predict student scores on an exam based on the number of hours they studied. I get a coefficient (slope) of +2.5 for the variable of hours studied. The pvalue for this coefficient is 0.45 and the 95% confidence interval is [-2.5, +7]. Which of the following conclusions CANNOT be drawn from these results? At an alpha of 0.05, we can say that the effect of hours studied on exam score is significant...

The sales budget for your company in the coming year is based on a quarterly growth rate of 10 percent with the first-quarter sales projection at $225.9 million. In addition to this basic trend, the seasonal adjustments for the four quarters are 0, −$16.9, −$8.9, and $21.9 million, respectively. Generally, 50 percent of the sales can be collected within the quarter and 45 percent in the following quarter; the rest of the sales are bad debt. The bad debts are...

The marketing director of a large department store wants to estimate the average number of customers who enter the store every five minutes. She randomly selects five-minute intervals and counts the number of arrivals at the store. She obtains the figures 56, 32, 41, 49, 56, 80, 42, 29, 32, and 70. The analyst assumes the number of arrivals is normally distributed. Using these data, the analyst computes a 95% confidence interval to estimate the mean value for all five-minute...
