Question 4 9 marks
A company has recorded data on the weekly sales for its product (y), the unit price of the competitor’s product (x1), and advertising expenditures (x2). The data resulting from a random sample of 7 weeks follows. Use Excel’s Regression Tool to answer the following questions (data set also provided in accompanying MS Excel file).
Week Price Advertising Sales
1 .33 5 20

3 .44 7 22
4 .40 9 21
5 .35 4 16
6 .39 8 19
7 .29 9 15
a. What is the estimated regression equation? Show the regression output. (2 marks)
b. Determine whether the model is significant overall. Use a = 0.10. (2 marks)
c. Determine if competitor’s price and advertising is individually significantly related to
sales. Use a = 0.10. (2 marks)
Based on your answer to part (c), drop any insignificant independent variable(s) and d.
re-estimate the model. What is the new estimated regression equation? (2 marks)
