Exercise 11-22 Break-even sales and sales mix for a service company Yellow Dove Airways provides air transportation services between Portland and Minneapolis. A single Portland to Minneapolis round-trip flight has the following operating statistics: Fuel and landing fees Flight crew salaries Airplane depreciation Variable cost per passenger- business class Variable cost per pasengerper passenger- economy class Round-trip ticket price- business class Round-trip ticket price- economy class $19,400 3,760 2,600 50 20 750 300 It is assumed that the fuel and landing fees, crew salaries, and airplane depreciation are fixed, regardless of the number of seats sold for the round-trip flight. a.) Compute the break-even number of seats sold on a single round-trip flight for the overall product. Assume that the overall product is 10% business class and 90% economy class tickets. b.) How many business class and economy seats would be sold at the break even point?

Specially, two types of advertising media are to be considered: radio and television advertising and newspaper advertising (including the cost of discount coupons). A sample of 22 cities with approximately equal population is selected for study during a test period of one month. Each city is allocated a specific expenditure level both for radio and television advertising and for newspaper advertising. The sales of the product (in thousands of dollars) and also the levels of media expenditure (in thousands of dollars) during the test month are recorded, with the data set ADVERTISE.XLS. Using EXCEL or PHStat2, answer the following: a) State the multiple regression equation. b) Interpret the meaning of the slopes b1 and b2 in this problem. c) Interpret the meaning of the regression coefficient b0 in this problem. d) Predict the average sales for a city in which radio and television advertising is $20,000 and newspaper advertising is $20,000. e) Set up a 95% confidence interval estimate for the average sales for cities in which radio and television advertising is $20,000 and newspaper advertising is $20,000. f) Set up a 95% confidence interval estimate for the sales for an individual city in which radio and television advertising is $20,000 and newspaper advertising is $20,000. g) Determine whether there is a significant relationship between sales and the two independent variables (radio advertising and newspaper advertising) at the 0.05 level of significance. h) Interpret the meaning of the pvalue. i) Determine the coefficient of multiple determination, r2. j) Determine the adjusted r2. k) Perform a residual analysis on your results and determine the adequacy of the fit of the model. l) Set up a 95% confidence interval estimate of the population slope between sales and radio and television advertising. m) At the 0.05 level of significance, determine whether each explanatory variable makes a significant contribution to the regression model.

[2] A collector of antique grandfather clocks believes that the price (in dollars) received for the clocks at an antique auction increases with the age of the clocks and with the number of bidders. Thus the model is hypothesized is where y = auction price, x1 = age of clock (years) and x2 = number of bidders. A sample of 32 auction prices of grandfather clocks, along with their ages and the number of bidders, is given below (clock_bidders.xls).

Should the interaction term (x1x x2) be included in the model? If so, what is the multiple regression equation?

For every additional increase in age, the price increases by 12.7362. The slope of bidders is 85.8151, for every additional increase in bidders, the price increases by 85.8151. c) The regression coefficient b0 is 1336.7221. This indicates that when age and bidders are zero, the price is 1336.7221. d) Since the pvalue of bidder is approximately zero, null hypothesis is rejected. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the variable bidder is statistically significant. e) 95% confidence interval is 68.0099 to 103.6204.

PMBA 305 Spring '13 Quantitative Aspects of Decision Making Module #5: Multiple Regression Draft Due: April 6, 2012 Name ID# Professional Master of Business Administration Program The Ageno School of Business GOLDEN GATE UNIVERSITY PMBA 305 Spring '13 Module #5 [1] A consumer products company wants to measure the effectiveness of different types of advertising media in the promotion of its products. Specially, two types of advertising media are to be considered: radio and television advertising and newspaper advertising (including the cost of discount coupons). A sample of 22 cities with approximately equal population is selected for study during a test period of one month. Each city is allocated a specific expenditure level both for radio and television advertising and for newspaper advertising. The sales of the product (in thousands of dollars) and also the levels of media expenditure (in thousands of dollars) during the test month are recorded, with the data set ADVERTISE.XLS. Using EXCEL or PHStat2, answer the following: a) State the multiple regression equation. b) Interpret the meaning of the slopes b1 and b2 in this problem. c) Interpret the meaning of the regression coefficient b0 in this problem. d) Predict the average sales for a city in which radio and television advertising is $20,000 and newspaper advertising is $20,000. e) Set up a 95% confidence interval estimate for the average sales for cities in which radio and television advertising is $20,000 and newspaper advertising is $20,000. f) Set up a 95% confidence interval estimate for the sales for an individual city in which radio and television advertising is $20,000 and newspaper advertising is $20,000. g) Determine whether there is a significant relationship between sales and the two independent variables (radio advertising and newspaper advertising) at the 0.05 level of significance. h) Interpret the meaning of the pvalue. i) Determine the coefficient of multiple determination, r2. j) Determine the adjusted r2. k) Perform a residual analysis on your results and determine the adequacy of the fit of the model. l) Set up a 95% confidence interval estimate of the population slope between sales and radio and television advertising. m) At the 0.05 level of significance, determine whether each explanatory variable makes a significant contribution to the regression model. On the basis of these results, indicate the independent variables that should be included in this model. n) Compute the coefficients of partial determination, r2Y1.2.and r2Y2.1.and interpret their meaning.

For every additional increase in radio (what is increased?), the sales increase by 13.08 (in thousands of dollars). The regression coefficient b2 is 16.80 (in thousands of dollars). For every additional increase in newspaper (what is increased?), the sales increase by 16.80 (in thousands of dollars). c) The regression coefficient b0 is 156.43 ((in thousands of dollars). When there is no change in radio and no change in newspaper, the sales is 156.43. What kind of change are you talking about here? Will this make sense to you? d) Average sales = 156.43 + 13.08 (20) + 16.80 (20) = 753.95 (in thousands of dollars) e) For Average Predicted Y (YHat) Interval Half Width 130.9113 Confidence Interval Lower Limit 623.0383 Confidence Interval Upper Limit 884.8609 95% confidence interval estimate for the average sales for cities in which radio and television advertising is $20,000 and newspaper advertising is $20,000 is 623.04 to 884.86. f) For Individual Response Y Interval Half Width 357.4269 Prediction Interval Lower Limit 396.5227 Prediction Interval Upper Limit 1111.376 95% confidence interval estimate for the sales for an individual city in which radio and television advertising is $20,000 and newspaper advertising is $20,000 is 396.52 to 1111.38. g) Since pvalue of Fstatistics is less than 0.05, we reject the null hypothesis. There is significant relationship between sales and the two independent variables (radio advertising and newspaper advertising). What are you testing here? What is your null hypothesis? h) If pvalue is less than significance level, null hypothesis is rejected or accepted otherwise. PMBA 305 Spring '13 Module #5 This is not the meaning of the pvalue. This is how to use the pvalue for a hypothesis test. i) The coefficient of multiple determination, r 2 is 0.8993. 89.93% of the total variation is explained by the regression model. j) The adjusted rsquare is 0.7886. k) Since it does not appear to follow particular pattern, the assumptions of linearity and equal variance are not violated. You don't think that there is a pattern. PMBA 305 Spring '13 Module #5 Since it appears to follow particular pattern, the assumptions of linearity and equal variance are violated.

I can't calculate them without any problem. PMBA 305 Spring '13 Module #5 [2] A collector of antique grandfather clocks believes that the price (in dollars) received for the clocks at an antique auction increases with the age of the clocks and with the number of bidders. Thus the model is hypothesized is Y 0 1 x1 2 x 2 where y = auction price, x1 = age of clock (years) and x2 = number of bidders. A sample of 32 auction prices of grandfather clocks, along with their ages and the number of bidders, is given below (clock_bidders.xls).

Is there evidence of a pattern in the residuals? Explain. i) At a = 0.05, is there evidence of positive autocorrelation in the residuals? j) Suppose the collector, having observed many auctions, believes that the rate of increase of the auction price with age will be driven upward by a large number of bidders. In other words, the collector believes that the age of clock and the number of bidders should interact.
