1. Consider the Sherwin-Williams Company example discussed in this chapter (see Table 4.1). Suppose one
is interested in developing a simple regression model with paint sales (Y) as the dependent variable and
selling price (P) as the independent variable.
a) Y=a+b*price
b) a= 390.376
b=-14.263
c) We reject null, because p-value is 0.0011 is less than 0.05, which means that there is a relationship
between the variables
d) Coefficient of determination = 0.750267273
e) .
f) Min 150.6932 Max 216.4228
2. The Pilot Pen Company has decided to use 15 test markets to examine the sensitivity of demand for its new
product to various prices, as shown in the following table. Advertising effort was identical in each market.
Each market had approximately the same level of business activity and population.
a) Q sold=29.788-0.1945*Price
b) Coefficient of determination = 0.7177
c) P-value(price)= 1.19E-08, it means that price has significant effect on quantity sold
d) PED = ((21 − 20) / (21 + 20) / 2) / ((50 - 50) / (50 + 50) / 2)
PED = 0.0122 / 0
PED = Infinity
Since |PED| = Infinity ⇒ demand is perfectly inelastic.
3. In a study of housing demand, the county assessor is interested in developing a regression model to
estimate the market value (i.e., selling price) of residential property within his jurisdiction. The assessor feels
that the most important variable affecting selling price (measured in thousands of dollars) is the size of house
(measured in hundreds of square feet). He randomly selected 15 houses and measured both the selling price
and size, as shown in the following table.

b) Price=206.2789+3.955859*Size
F-value is greater than significance F, which means that relationship between variables are significant
