Document Summary

Simple regression refers to equations with only one explanatory variable (x: multiple regression is equations with more than one explanatory variable, degrees of freedom for t-tests and interval estimates changes from n-2 to n-k-1. Interpretation changes to recognise that other variables are being held constant: change in y when x1 changes by 1 unit and x2 xn are held constant. If variables are non-linear (x2) interpretation changes accordingly. 95% interval estimate where degrees of freedom (n-k-1) is 1076: Maximum sampling error is given by (cid:1872)(cid:4672)2, (cid:2869)(cid:4673)(cid:1871)(cid:1857)( (cid:2869)) and helps find an interval estimate: to check for heteroscedasticity examine the residuals (cid:1857)=(cid:1851) (cid:1851) , use white heteroscedasticity robust standard errors to allow for possible existence of. If white standard errors are slightly larger then use them instead of normal heteroscedasticity. Goodness of fit: measure of goodness of fit of regression lines is r2, r2 measures the proportion of variation in the dependent variable explained by variation in the explanatory variables.

Question 2

In which of the following situations would reliance on expert opinion as a basis for a managerial decision be most preferred?

		When the business in question serves as a supplier of inputs to other businesses, especially in multi-product situations where other strategies may be prohibitively expensive.

Question 3

The approach to analyzing consumer behavior that asks consumers to rank and choose among different product attributes to reveal their relative valuation of different characteristics is called:

		conjoint analysis.
		contingent valuation.
		the hedonic estimation technique.
		a direct consumer survey.

Question 4

All of the following are limitations of direct consumer surveys except:

		the possibility of response biases because survey respondents may not want to reveal their true preferences.
		the possibility that the type of questions asked may unintentionally bias the respondent's answers.
		the likelihood that respondents will deliberately and systematically mislead interviewers.
		the possibility that consumers' responses may not reflect their actual behavior in the market place.

Question 5

Which of the following approaches to understanding and predicting consumer behavior does not actually solicit any information from potential customers?

		Expert opinion.

Question 8

An approach to analyzing consumer behavior in which consumer reaction to different prices is analyzed in a laboratory situation or a test market is called:

		non-price experiments.
		focus groups.
		price experiments.
		none of the above.

Question 9

Data collected on the same observation unit at a number of points in time are called:

		panel data.
		time series data.
		cross-section data.
		none of the above.

Question 10

A measure of how much the coefficient would vary in regressions based on different samples is called:

		F-statistic.
		standard error of the estimated coefficient.
		t-statistic.
		partial F-statistic.

Question 11

The test statistic used to test the hypothesis of whether a regression coefficient is significantly different from zero, holding all other independent variables constant, is called a(n):

		t-test.
		F-test.
		multicollinearity test.
		autocorrelation test.

Question 12

Regression analysis that analyzes the relationship between one dependent variable and several independent variables is called:

		cluster analysis.
		correlation analysis.
		multiple regression analysis.
		simple regression analysis.

Question 13

The ratio of the regression coefficient to its standard error is called:

		F-statistic.
		t-statistic.
		coefficient of determination.
		partial F-statistic.

Question 14

The coefficient of determination will range between what values?

		-1 and +1
		0 and 1
		-3 and +3
		none of the above

Question 15

The range of values in which we can be confident that the true regression coefficient lies within a given degree of probability is called a:

		confidence interval.
		logistic regression.
		prediction interval.
		none of the above.

Question 16
