Bicycling World, a magazine devoted to cycling, reviews hundreds of bicycles throughout the year. Its Road-Race category contains reviews of bicycles used by riders primarily interested in racing. One of the most important factors in selecting a bicycle for racing is its weight. The following data show the weight (pounds) and price ($) for ten racing bicycles reviewed by the magazine:

A. Develop a scatter chart with weight as the independent variable. What does the scatter chart indicate about the relationship between the weight and price of these bicycles?

B. Use the data to develop an estimated regression equation that could be used to estimate the price for a bicycle, given its weight. What is the estimated regression model?

C. Test whether each of the regression parameters  and  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?

D. How much of the variation in the prices of the bicycles in the sample does the regression model you estimated in part b explain?

E. The manufacturers of the D’Onofrio Pro plan to introduce the 15-pound D’Onofrio Elite bicycle later this year. Use the regression model you estimated in part a to predict the price of the D’Ononfrio Elite.

Amanda has a yearly advertising and promotions budget of $50,000. Her goal is to maximize the reach (the number of customers that see her company’s ads or other marketing efforts). She is considering a mix of placing ads on art websites and in printed art magazines, as well as using targeted social media ad placements and appearances at art tradeshows. She wants to make sure that the company has an online presence, so would like to see at least 100 ads placed in any combination of websites and social media per year. However, she has data that suggests that if she advertises on the websites more than 60 times per year she will be wasting money. There are seven art tradeshows that the company could attend, but Amanda feels it is mandatory to attend at least the two most popular tradeshows. There are three major art magazines, each published monthly, that Amanda would like to advertise in. She could advertise in each of these once per month but would be comfortable reducing the frequency to a minimum of once every three months in each magazine and rotating the placements between the magazines. The reach and cost of each type of ad placement or event is shown below: Art Websites Social Media Art Tradeshows Print Magazine Ads Reach (number of people) 20,000 10,000 5,000 15,000 Cost (dollars) 200 250 1,000 400 Recommend the appropriate mix of advertising and promotions for the company. Also comment on what would change if Amanda doubled her advertising and promotions budget. Estimate the increased reach.

1. In an imaginary economy, consumers buy only hot dogs and hamburgers. The fixed basket consists of 15 hot dogs and 8 hamburgers. A hot dog cost $2.25 in 2006 and $5.40 in 2007. A hamburger cost $5.75 in 2006 and $7.86 in 2007. Calculate the CPI for both years and then find the inflation rate.

In 2007, a sandwich cost $5.75. If the inflation rate in 2007 was 21 percent, then how much did a magazine cost in 2007?
