To investigate the relationship between amount of sales y (in thousands of dollars) and the amount x (in hundreds of dollars) sp

ent on advertising, a marketing researcher chooses eight cities of approximately equal populations and spends differing amounts on advertising in each city. The sales y and the amount x spent on advertising are recorded for each city. From the data the least squares prediction line is: = 24.45 + 2.38x.
Interpret the slope of the least squares line.
(A) For each additional hundred dollars spent on advertising, sales are predicted to increase by $2,380.
(B) If no money is spent on advertising, sales are predicted to be $24.45.
(C) For each additional hundred dollars spent on advertising, sales are predicted to increase by $24,452.
(D) For each additional $1000 dollars in sales, the amount spent on advertising is predicted to increase by $238.

Answer:

(A) For each additional hundred dollars spent on advertising, sales are predicted to increase by $2,380.

Step-by-step explanation:

Regression isa statistical equation, denoting relationship between independent (causal) variable(s) & dependent (effected) variable.

y = a <u>+</u> bx

where y = dependent variable, x = dependent variable, a (intercept) = autonomous value of y, b (slope) = change in y due to change in x

Regression equation of independent variable (x) as advertising expenditure & dependent variable (y) sales : y = 24.45 + 2.38x

Sales are in thousands of dollars, advertising expenditure is in hundreds of dollars. So, the interpretations are :

  • Intercept interpretation : When there is zero advertising expenditure, sales are 24.45 thousands i.e $24450
  • Slope Interpretation :<u> When advertisement expenditure change (rise) by 1 hundred, sales change (rise) by 2.38 thousand i.e</u><u> </u><u>$2380</u>

-4(x - 2) - 3x = 2(5x - 7) + 6
Allisa [31]

Answer: last option.

Step-by-step explanation:

To apply the Distributive property, remember that:

c(a-b)=ca-cb

Then, applying this, you get:

-4(x - 2) - 3x = 2(5x - 7) + 6\\\\(-4)(x)+(-4)(-2)-3x=(2)(5x)+(2)(-7)+6\\\\-4x+8-3x=10x-14+6

Combine like terms means that you need to add the like terms.

Therefore, you get:

-7x+8=10x-8

You can observe that the expression obtained matches with the expression provided in the last option.

Assume ABC Company deposits $90,000 with First National Bank in an account earning interest at 6% per annum, compounded and semi
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer: A) $120,953

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to calculate the compound amount (semi-annually):-

A=P(1+\dfrac{r}{2})^{2n}, where P is principal amount , r is rate of interest and n is the number of time periods.

Given : Principal amount : P= $90,000

Rate of interest : 6% per annum = 0.06 per annum

Time period : n= 5 years

A=(90000)(1+\dfrac{0.06}{2})^{2\times5}=120952.474141\approx 120,953

Hence, the ABC will have $ 120,953 in the account after five years if interest is reinvested.
