Question

*Q6)

provide all relevant computer output

Run a regression analysis on the data below in Excel. The file shows how 64 customers of Xerox Copiers replied to 4 questions (see the labels in the file for each question; 1=very dissatisfied and 10=very satisfied). Investigate how the three departmental satisfaction attributes influence overall satisfaction. For each of the tasks below, provide the hypothesis tested, the empirical F-value with degrees of freedom, the critical F-value

PLEASE ANSWER THE QUESTIONS BELOW:

(hint: if the exact df that you need is not in the table, use the next closest number), the p-value, the decision rule, whether you accept or reject the chosen Ho at a confidence level of 95%, the percent of variation in overall satisfaction explained, and a verbal interpretation of the outcome.

Also, as a manager with Xerox after looking at the result, what should you focus on if your goal is to increase overall satisfaction, and can you somewhat ignore one of the three departments?

1) Run a regression with service as the only predictor for overall satisfaction

2) Run a regression with accounting as the only predictor for overall satisfaction

3) Run a regression with sales as the only predictor for overall satisfaction

4) Run a regression with all three (service, product, sales) as the predictors for overall satisfaction
