The table below shows the number of cars sold last month by seven employees at Concord Motors and their number of years of sales experience.
Experience | Sales |
1 | 8 |
2 | 6 |
2 | 7 |
4 | 14 |
5 | 9 |
6 | 13 |
8 | 10 |
Management would like to use simple regression analysis to estimate monthly car sales using the number of years of sales experience. The 95% confidence interval for the regression slope is ________.
A. (-1.842, 3.158)
B. (-0.481, 1.797)
C. (0.058, 1.258)
D. (0.408, 0.908)
To calculate the 95% confidence interval for the regression slope is , we required the slope and standard error of slope . for this we use excel . the excel procedure is as follows :
Menu---->Excel-----> enter the data of the variable sales (y ) and variable experience ( x) ------->data------->data analysis------>regression------>ok------>Input Y range ( select the data of variale ( y ) )------->Input X range ( select the variable (x) )------>Output Range (select the blank box in excel ) -------->ok .
The excel gives the following output :
The final answer is ,
The 95 % confidence interval for the regression slope is option B. ( -0.481 , 1.797 )
THIS IS THE FINAL ANSWER.
