Question

Kindly Make the Answer Typed

A pharmaceutical company is investigating the relationship between advertising expenditures and the sales of some over-the-counter (OTC) drugs. The following data represents a sample of 10 common OTC drugs. Find the equation of the regression line, using Advertising dollars as the independent variable and Sales as the response variable. Interpret the slope of the line in the words of the problem. Find r2 and interpret it in the words of the problem. Use the line to predict the Sales if Advertising dollars = $50 million. Note that AD = Advertising dollars in millions and S = Sales in millions $.

Explanation / Answer

The regression equation is

Sales=b0+b1 AD

Using excel, the estimated equation is

the estimated equation is

Sales = 6.629 + 2.569 AD

If the advertising expenditures increases by 1, we predict the sales will increase by approximately 2.569.

r2= 0.9926

99% of the variability observed in sale prices can be explained by advertising expenditures.

The line to predict the Sales if Advertising dollars = $50 million.

Sales = 6.629 + 2.569*50= 135.079
