2.Based on the above simple regression analysis, how much should the hiring managers expect to have for Newspaper/Magazine in the following January (Month 13)? Round to two decimal places, do not include the dollar sign.
3The hiring managers want to compare three different employment sources: Newspaper/Magazine, CareerBuilder, and Monster.com. Perform simple regressions as you did above predicting allocations for month 13 for those three employment sources. Which of the following statements would be the best conclusion from your analysis?
Group of answer choicesThe model R-square for Monster.com is the highest R-square value of the three platforms. Therefore, management will likely provide the most funding for that platform, and we should focus on that above the other two.The models for Monster.com and Newspaper/Magazine are both significant, which means we should focus on these two platforms over CareerBuilder because management will likely provide us the most funding for those two platforms.
The predicted monthly amount for CareerBuilder is lower than the predicted amount for Newspaper/Magazine. Therefore, they should expect the lowest amount of funding for CareerBuilder out of all of the three, and should concentrate on their efforts on the other two employment resources.
The monthly amounts for Monster.com have a negative slope, compared to the other two, which have a positive slope. Therefore, they should expect lower funding for Monster.com than in the past, and should concentrate their efforts on the other two employment resources.
All of the above are correct.
None of the above are correct.
4For ease of performing the next task, move the variable “Social Networks – Facebook, Twitter, etc” to column A on the spreadsheet. (i.e. Make sure it is the first column in the spreadsheet.)
The hiring managers recognize that the funding for one employment source depends on the funding for the other sources. Therefore, they want you to perform a multiple regression predicting Social Network funding from Months 1-12, while controlling for the funding of Billboard, Careerbuilder, Company Intranet – Partner, and Diversity Job Fair.
Assume that we know the funding for the the controlled variables for Month 13. They are:
Billboard: 520
Careerbuilder: 800
Company Intranet: 0
Diversity Job Fair: 1000
For this model and these known values, what is the predicted value for Social Network funding for Month 13?
5.Compare the performance of the model above with a model that just controls for the funding of Billboard. In other words, create a multiple regression predicting Social Network funding from Months 1-12, while controlling for the funding of Billboard. Compare the Regression Statistics. Which model does a better job of explaining the variance in Social Network funding?

Group of answer choicesx = .41y + 1.82y = .41x + 1.82
y = 1.82(.41) + x
y = 1.82x + .41
7A casino is interested in the relationship between the amount of alcohol people buy and the amount of money they spend at the slot machines. They have sampled 10 people and measured the amount of alcohol they drank and how much they spend that day. Based on the regression line, they would like to predict how much money people will spend based on the amount that they drink. The data are below.

8An apartment management company wants to explore the consequences of allowing residents to have multiple dogs. They would like to find out whether the number of dogs predicts resident ratings. They would also like to control for the year the apartment complex was built because they know that might also affect the resident rating. They have collected data on several of their existing complexes. For each complex, they have counted the number of dogs currently living in the complex, the year the complex was built, and the average rating for that particular complex. They would like to perform a multiple regression on these variables to predict resident ratings. See data below:

What can we conclude about this multiple regression analysis? Fill in the blanks.
There is a [ Select ] [“negative”, “positive”] effect of Number of Dogs on Resident Ratings. There is a [ Select ] [“positive”, “negative”] effect of Year of Facility on Resident Ratings. As Number of Dogs increases, Resident Ratings [ Select ] [“decrease”, “stay the same”, “increase”] . Therefore, we recommend that the management [ Select ] [“does not make any changes to dog limits”, “allows more dogs”, “allows fewer dogs”] in their future complexes.
