Regression analysis is a powerful and commonly used tool in business research. One important step in regression is to determine the dependent and independent variable(s).

In a bivariate regression, which variable is the dependent variable and which one is the independent variable?

What does the intercept of a regression tell? What does the slope of a regression tell?

What are some of the main uses of a regression?

Provide an example of a situation wherein a bivariate regression would be a good choice for analyzing data.

Multiple regression analysis is widely used in business research to forecast and predict purposes. It is also used to determine what independent variables influence dependent variables, such as sales.

Sales can be attributed to the quality, customer service, and location. In multiple regression analysis, we can determine which independent variable contributes the most to sales; it could be quality or customer service, or location.

Now, consider the following scenario. You have been assigned the task of creating a multiple regression equation of at least three variables that explains Microsoft

For the record, this is a homework question. A statistics student wishes to understand the relationship between a used car's price and the number of miles that car has been driven. The student goes to a local car lot and writes down the prices and the odometer reading for 100 cars. The student takes this information and completes a regression. The goal is to examine how the miles drove impacts the car's price. The regression output appears at the end of this assignment. Use the output to answer the following questions.

a) (3 points) Dependent variables Independent variable

b) (8 points) Do you expect a positive, negative, or no relationship between miles driven and price? Draw a scatterplot that corresponds to your relationship.

Be sure to include which variable (miles or price) is on the x-axis and which is on the y-axis.

b) (3 points) Write the regression equation (I want the specific estimates for the coefficients)

c) (3 points) What is the interpretation of the slope coefficient of b 1 (in terms of this problem)?

d) (4 points) Is b 1 significant from zero? How do you know?

e) (3 points) Use the regression equation to predict the price for a car that was driven for 30,000 miles. Is this mileage appropriate to make a prediction? Why or why not?

f) (3 points) Use the regression equation to predict the price for a car that was driven for 80,000 miles. Is this mileage appropriate to make a prediction? Why or why not?

g) (3 points) What percentage of price variation is explained by the variation in miles driven?
