I am unsure which answer is correct but I pretty certain that it is not e even though this seems the most logical choice.

You read a research paper that applies to your industry, and it says that when people are given a list of facts about your product, they are more likely to buy your product and that the difference between the regular amount of sales and the sales when people read the list of facts is 3 standard deviations. how would you describe the difference of 3 standard deviations (select the best answer)?

Select one:

a. Cannot tell because the units are not specified.

b. It is a small difference because 3 is a small number.

c. It is an important difference because a 3 standard deviation difference would be expected due to random chance in less than 1% of the cases.

d. It is NOT an important difference because with each sample there is variation and the difference could be due to chance.

e. Cannot tell because the sample size is not given Information

Many thanks

Models help us describe and summarize relationships between variables. Understanding how process variables relate to each other helps businesses predict and improve performance. For example, a marketing manager might be interested in modeling the relationship between advertisement expenditures and sales revenues.

Consider the dataset below and respond to the questions that follow:

Advertisement ($’000) Sales ($’000)

1068 4489

1026 5611

767 3290

885 4113

1156 4883

1146 5425

892 4414

938 5506

769 3346

677 3673

1184 6542

1009 5088

• Construct a scatter plot with this data.
• Do you observe a relationship between both variables?
• Use Excel to fit a linear regression line to the data. What is the fitted regression model?
• What is the slope? What does the slope tell us?Is the slope significant?
• What is the intercept? Is it meaningful?
• What is the value of the regression coefficient,r? What is the value of the coefficient of determination, r^2? What does r^2 tell us?
• Use the model to predict sales and the business spends $950,000 in advertisement. Does the model underestimate or overestimates ales?
