Question

A business analyst wants to explore the relationship between the sales for a product (in thousands of dollars) and the possible factors; price (in dollars) and the promotional expenditure(in hundred of dollars). Results of the partial multiple regression analysis are presented below.

Regression Analysis: Sales versus Price, Promotion

The regression equation is

Sales = 12.9 - 6.50 Price + 0.0207 Promotion

Predictor     Coef SE Coef       T      P   

Constant   12.8638   0.2425   53.05 0.000

Price -6.4979   0.3575 -18.18 0.000

Promotion 0.02069 0.03811    0.54 0.611

Analysis of Variance

Source          DF      SS MS F P

Regression             9.1578 4.5789 0.000

Residual Error 0.1222 0.0244

Total 7 9.2800

What are the degrees of freedom for regression and the residual error in the ANOVA table?

Select one:

a. 1 and 6

b. 2 and 5

c. 2 and 6

d. 2 and 4

Explanation / Answer

degree o freedom for regression =SS/MS =9.1578/4.5789 =2

and for residual errror =0.1222/0.0244=5

hence option b) 2 and 5
