A manager has estimated a simple linear regression model with an explanatory variable (amount spent on advertisement in thousands of dollars) and a response variable (Sales in thousands of dollars). Further assume that he has checked the assumptions and all four assumptions seem reasonable. The estimated model is the following:

Predicted sales (thousands of dollars) = 100+9x (where x = amount spent on advertisement in thousands of dollars).

Some additional helpful information: The range of the values of the explanatory variable are between $10,000 and $150,000, the median of the explanatory is 82 thousand dollars and the sample mean of the explanatory variable is 83 thousand dollars. The median of the response variable is 728thousand dollars. TheRSquaredvalues is 0.89.
