Problem: How many of each type of apartment should the developer produce while leasing
5 one bedroom apartments and 8 two bedroom apartments to a silent partner, having a
maximum of 40 units per location, and 40,000 square feet per location?
Decision variables: how many of each type of apartment should the
developer produce?
X1 = efficiencies
X2 = one bedroom apartments
X3 = two bedroom apartments
X4 = three bedroom apartments
Objective Function: How can the developer get the maximum income?
MAX: 350 X1 +450 X2 +550 X3 +750 X4
Constraints:
The developer can build no more than 15 one bedroom apartments, 22 two

two bedroom apartments.
Upper and Lower Bounds:

 (Dependent Variable): Y = COST is the total cost of the production run.
 (Independent Variable): X = NUMBER is the number of items produced
during that run.
 Regression calculated using Minitab.
 Regression Analysis: COST versus NUMBER
 The regression equation is
COST = 28.3 + 2.15 NUMBER

b. What percentage of the variation in “Y” has been explained by the
regression?
R-Sq = regression sum of squares(SSR)/total sum of squares(SST) =
1813.9/1991.3 = 91.1%

c. Are “Y” and “X” linearly related? Conduct a hypothesis test to answer this
question and use a 5% level of significance.
 Hypothesis to be tested: Is the “total cost of a production run” linearly related
to the “number of items produced during that run”?
 The hypotheses are:
H0: 1 = 0 (Cost does not change when number of items produced increases)
Ha: 1 ≠ 0 (Cost does change)
 The decision rule: If the data fits well, Mean Square Regression (MSR) will be
large compared to the Mean Square due to Error (MSE).
Reject H0 if t > 2.074 or if t < -2.074
 The test statistic: F statistic = (MSR) / (MSE).
 Decision: F statistic = 1813.9 / 8.1 = 223.9
The MSR is large relative to the MSE.
T = 15.00 > 2.074 (reject H0).
 Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between project size and cost.
d. Estimate the fixed cost involved in the production
process. Find a point and a 95% confidence interval
estimate.
Fixed cost is equal to the slope of the equation = $28.31
Point estimate = sample 95% confidence mean Y
t24-2 = 2.074
Fixed Cost =
b0+/-tn-2sb0= 28.311+/-(2.074)4.083
= 28.311+/-8.468
95% sure that the fixed cost is between $19.84 and $36.78
e. Estimate the variable cost involved in the production process. Find a
point estimate and a 95% confidence interval estimate.
Calculate using one-way ANOVA.
Variable Cost = 2.1549 x NUMBER.
COST Mean = 78.25
78.25 = (28.311+/-8.468) + Variable Cost
95% sure that the variable cost is between $41.47 and $58.41
