Consider the following to answer the question(s) below: A regression was performed to predict the selling price of a yacht in thousands of dollars based on the number of rooms it had, its age (years) , and its length (feet) . The R2 is 68.45%. The equation is given here. Selling Price = 120.51 + 7.46 Rooms - 1.78 Age + 2.83 Length -What does the coefficient of Rooms mean in the context of the regression model?


A) The average selling price will increase by $7,460 for every additional room for yachts with the same length and age.
B) The average selling price will increase 7.46 times for every additional room.
C) Every additional room will mean the selling price will increase by 7.46%, all other things being equal.
D) There is always a decrease in selling price of $7,460 for every additional room on a yacht.
E) The number of rooms is the most important explanatory variable since it is the largest.

a. The regression equation is Turnover Rate = 12.1 - 0.0715 Trust Index - 0.000722 Average Bonus b. F = 58.64 P-value < 0.001 The F-statistic and associated P-value lead us to conclude that the regression equation is significant overall. c. R-Sq = 79.6% d. H0 : βTI = 0 HA : βTI ≠ 0 Test statistic: -3.64 The P-value associated with the Trust Index is 0.001. Therefore, for companies with the same average annual bonuses, there is very strong evidence that trust indices are associated with turnover rate. e. H0 : βAB = 0 HA : βAB ≠ 0 Test statistic: -4.87 The P-value associated with average Annual Bonus is < 0.001. Therefore, for companies with the same trust indexes, there is very strong evidence that average annual bonuses are associated with turnover rate. f. 2.41 % g. Linearity: The scatterplot of turnover rate versus trust index and turnover rate versus average annual bonus appear straight enough. Randomization: The companies in the sample were selected randomly. Equal Spread: The plot of residuals versus predicted values does not appear to widen for higher predicted values, so it seems reasonable to assume equal variance. Normality: The histogram of residuals is somewhat skewed, but unimodal. It seems that the nearly normal condition is satisfied.

A) $320,490
