Recently they used both machines to fill a large order.
The customer found that many of the bolts from a

It was determined that the package in question was

whether the mean diameter of the bolts from machine 2
was significantly larger than the mean diameter from

Regression Analysis(RA) is a statistical forecasting model that is
concerned with describing and evaluating the relationship between a
given variable (usually called the dependent variable, denoted as Y) and
one or more other variable (usually known as the
independent/exploratory variable, denoted as X) .
• RA can predict the outcome of a given key business indicator
(dependent variable) based on the interactions of other related business
drivers (independent /exploratory variables)
• The relationship can be described as a function of a linear (straightline) equation <called linear regression> “simple linear regression”
Dependent Variable (Notation: Y) – The variable you wish to predict
Independent Variable (Notation: X) – Variable used to make the prediction
Simple Linear Regression – A single numerical independent variable X is
used to predict the numerical dependent variable Y
Multiple Regression – Use several independent variables to predict a
numerical dependent variable Y.
*When changes in the variable X leads to predictable change in the variable
Y then we say “X can be used to explain Y”
Regression analysis allows you to identify the type of relationship that
exists between a dependent variable (X) and an independent variable (Y).

ASSUMPTIONS
General Assumptions of the Simple Linear Regression Model
<similar to ANOVA> Referring to the residuals
1. Linearity - The mean of the model error terms is 0.
2. Independence - The model error terms are independent.
3. Normality - The regression model errors are normally distributed.
4. Equal variance - The model error terms have a constant variance, σε2 ,
for all combinations of values of the independent variables.

Note: For a simple linear regression model (one independent
variable), these two are equivalent methods.

**First determine which are the independent and dependent variables
a. Assuming a linear relationship, use the least-squares method to find the
regression coefficients b0 and b1. Where b0 = intercept and b1 = slope
(stat, F3, TEST, T, REG, ≠, List # x, List # y, Freq-1) b1 = 0.7400 b0 =
1.450
b. Interpret the meaning of the slope b1 in this problem.
Positive Relationship - For every increase of one foot in shelf space,
there is an expected increase of 0.074 hundred of dollars ($7.40) in
weekly sales.
c. Use the regression model developed in (a) to predict the average weekly
sales (in hundreds of dollars) of pet food for stores with 8 feet of shelf space
for pet food
(x=8); y= 1.45 + 0.074 (8)= 2.042*100 because sales is in ($00) 
= $204.20
*predict the average weekly sales (in hundreds of dollars) of pet
food for stores with (12)20 feet of shelf space for pet food. What is
the residual error?

e= y – y  = 3.1 – 2.93 = 0.17
d. compute the coefficient of determination r2, and interpret its meaning in
this problem. NOTE: r2 is called the coefficient of determination.
MEANING: The percentage of variation in the dependent variable
explained by its relationship to the independent variables in the
regression model
r2 = 0.6839 ~ 68.39% of the variation in y (week sales) is explained
by x (shelf space)
e. Compute the coefficient of correlation r. NOTE: r is the sample
correlation coefficient (also called the Pearson coefficient of
correlation). It is used to measure the strength of association
between two variables.
r= 0.82700 (positive relationship)
f. At the 0.005 level of significance, is there evidence of a linear relationship
between shelf space and sales? T-Test; Reject Ho, since there is

Analyzing a Multiple Regression Model
Step 1: Collect sample data. The values of Y, X1, X2, X3, … ,Xk
Step 2: Hypothesize the form of the model. This includes choosing which
independent variables to include in the model. Y = β0 + β1X1 + β2X2 +
β3X3 + … + βkXk + ε (Linear)
Step 3: Use the method of least squares to estimate the unknown
parameters
β0 , β1 , β2…., βk
Step 4: Specify the probability distribution of the random error component
ε and estimates its variance σ2
*σ2 = variance of the random error ε
Step 5: Statistically evaluate the utility (or usefulness) of the model.
Step 6: Check the assumptions on σ are satisfied and make model
modifications, if necessary.
Step 7: Finally, if the model is deemed adequate, use the fitted model to
estimate the mean value of y or to predict a particular value of y for a given
values of the independent variables, and to make other inferences.

Hypothesis Two Sample Testing – Proportion:
A human resources director decided to investigate employee
perception of the fairness of two performance evaluation methods.
To test for the differences between the two methods, 160
employees were randomly assigned to be evaluated by one of the
methods: 78 were assigned to method 1, where individuals provide
feedback to supervisory queries as part of the evaluation process; 82
were assigned to method 2, where individuals provided selfassessments of their work performances. Following the evaluations,
employees were asked whether they considered the performance
evaluation fair or unfair. Of the 78 employees in method 1, there
were 63 fair ratings. Of the 82 employees in method, there were 49
fair ratings. Using a 0.05 level of significance, is there evidence of a
significant difference between the two methods in the proportion
of fair ratings?

To get Fu  go to InvF, Area: 0.01/2, n: df = 40, n: df = 30
Fu = F0.01/2, 40, 30 = 2.52

Fail to reject Ho because the p-value is > than the level of
significance (0.01)
k) Using specific references to the appropriate population parameters,
state the test’s conclusion: There is not enough evidence to conclude
that the two proportion variances in the shipping times between
the two major outlet stores are not different

If appropriate, determine which
method differs in average shelf
life? Use 0.05 level of significance.
Since Ho is rejected, it is
appropriate to use the Tukey
test
Tukey procedure  Post Hoc
tests
Using the Tukey output (at the .05
level of significance) formulation A
has a longer shelf life than
formulations B, C, and D.
Formulation B has a longer shelf
life than formulation C.
At the 5% level of significance
formulation A appears to have a
longer shelf life than formulations
