Data for a sample of eight markets for a recent week follow. Market Mobile Shreveport Jackson Birmingham Little Rock Weekly Gross Revenue Television Advertising Newspaper Advertising ($100s) 102.3 51.9 75.5 127.2 137.8 101.4 237.8 219.6 Biloxi New Orleans Baton Rouge ($100s) 5.0 3.0 4.0 4.4 3.6 3.5 5.0 6.9 ($100s) 1.6 3.2 1.5 4.0 4.3 2.3 8.4 5.8 (a) Use the data to develop an estimated regression equation with the amount of television advertising as the independent variable. Let x represent the amount of television advertising. If required, round your answers to three decimal places. For subtractive or negative numbers use a minus sign even if there is a + sign before the blank. (Example: -300)
(a) Use the data to develop an estimated regression equation with the amount of television advertising as the independent variable. Let x represent the amount of television advertising. If required, round your answers to three decimal places. For subtractive or negative numbers use a minus sign even if there is a + sign before the blank. (Example: -300) 9 = Test for a significant relationship between television advertising and weekly gross revenue at the 0.05 level of significance. What is the interpretation of this relationship? There Select your answer a significant relationship between the amount spent on television advertising and weekly gross revenue. The estimated regression equation is the best estimate of the - Select your answer - given the Select your answer - (b) How much of the variation in the sample values of weekly gross revenue does the model in part (a) explain? If required, round your answer to two decimal places. 56 % (c) Use the data to develop an estimated regression equation with both television advertising and newspaper advertising as the independent. variables. Let x₁ represent the amount of television advertising. Let x2 represent the amount of newspaper advertising. If required, round your answers to three decimal places. For subtractive or negative numbers use a minus sign even if there is a signi before the blank. (Example: -300) 9 X1 + 2א Test whether each of the regression parameters Bo, B1, and B2 is equal to zero at a 0.05 level of significance. We conclude that Bo= 0. Select your answer We-Select your answer We-Select your answer conclude that B2 = 0. conclude that B2 0.
What are the correct interpretations of the estimated regression parameters? Are these interpretations reasonable? (i) Bo is the estimate of the weekly gross revenue when television and newspaper advertising are both zero. B1 is the estimate of change in the weekly gross revenue if newspaper advertising is held constant and there is a $100 increase in television advertising. B2 is the estimate of change in the weekly gross revenue if television advertising is held constant and there is a $100 increase in newspaper advertising. The interpretation of Bo is not reasonable but the interpretations of B1 and B2 are reasonable. (ii) Bo is the estimate of the weekly gross revenue when television and newspaper advertising are both zero. B1 is the estimate of change in the weekly gross revenue if television advertising is held constant and there is a $100 increase in newspaper advertising. B2 is the estimate of change in the weekly gross revenue if newspaper advertising is held constant and there is a $100 increase in television advertising. The interpretation of Bo is not reasonable but the interpretations of B1 and B2 are reasonable. (iii) Bo is the estimate of change in the weekly gross revenue if newspaper advertising is held constant and there is a $100 increase in television advertising. B1 is the estimate of change in the weekly gross revenue if television advertising is held constant and there is a $100 increase in newspaper advertising. B2 is the estimate of the weekly gross revenue when television and newspaper advertising are both zero. The interpretation of Bo, B1, and B2 are all reasonable. Select your answer - (d) How much of the variation in the sample values of weekly gross revenue does the model in part (c) explain? If required, round your answer to two decimal places. % (e) Given the results in part (a) and part (c), what should your next step be? Explain. The input in the box below will not be graded, but may be reviewed and considered by your instructor. blank (f) What are the managerial implications of these results? - Select your answer - advertising results in increased weekly Management can feel confident that increased spending on gross revenue. The results also suggest that - Select your answer advertising may be slightly more effective than Select your answer advertising in generating revenue.
