B) If it is decided that a factor 2 (Degree to which the population can converse in English) is not a necessity, then the best location is _________, with a total weighted score of ___. (Enter response rounded to one decimal place.)

The coefficient of determination (r^2) for this model = _____ (round to four decimal places)

The percentage of variation in sales that can be explained by TV appearances = ___% (round to two decimal places)

Harden College is contemplating opening a European campus where students from the main campus could go to take courses for 1 of the 4 college years. At the moment, it is considering five countries: Holland, Great Britain, Italy, Belgium, and Greece. The college wishes to consider eight factors in its decision. The first two factors are given weights of O2, while the rest are assigned weights of 0.1. The following table illustrates its assessment of each factor for each country (5 is best). 4 Candidate Country Ratings Factor Critical Success Factors Holland Great Britain Italy Belgium Greece 1 Stability of government 2 5 5 2 Degree to which the population can 5 5 3 5 converse in English 3 Stability of the monetary system 5 5 2 4 3 4 Communications Infrastructure 3 3 3 4 2 5 Transportation infrastructure 4 4 3 3 3 6 Availability of historic / cultural sites 2 4 3 3 3 7 Import restrictions 4 3 4 5 5 8 Availability of suitable quarters 3 3 3 a) Based on the given information, the best country for Harden College to locate the new campus is Great Britain with a total weighted score of (Enter your response rounded to one decimal place) Mark Gershon, owner of a musical instrument distributorship, thinks that demand for guitars may be related to the number of television appearances by the popular group Maroon 5 during the previous month. Gershon has collected the data shown in the following table: Maroon 5 TV Appearances 3 3 8 5 8 7 Demand for Guitars 3 6 7 5 11 8 This exercise contains only parts b, c, and d. b) Using the least-squares regression method, the equation for forecasting is (round your responses to four decimal places): Y-1.4146 +0,9268 c) The estimate for guitar sales if Maroon 5 performed on TV 11 times 1161 sales (round your response to two decimal places), d) The correlation coefficient (1) for this model = (round your response to four decimal places). Bus and subway ridership for the summer months in London, England, is believed to be tied heavily to the number of tourists visiting the city. During the past 12 years, the following data have been obtained: 1 7 1.5 2 2 1.1 3 6 1.4 4 4 1.5 5 14 2.4 6 15 2.7 7 16 2.4 8 12 1.9 9 14 2.6 10 20 4.4 11 15 3.4 12 7 1.7 Year Number of Tourists (in millions) Ridership (in millions) This exercise contains only parts b, c, d, e, and 1. b) The least-squares regression equation that shows the best relationship between ridership and the number of tourists is (round your responses to three decimal places): - 0.665 + 0.153 x where y = Dependent Variable and x = Independent Variable c) If it is expected that 10 million tourists will visit London, then the expected ridership = 2.10 million riders (round your response to two decimal places). d) If there are no tourists at all, then the model still predicts a ridership. This is due to the fact that zero tourists are outside the range of data used to develop the model. 6) The standard error of the estimate developed using least-squares regression fround your response to three places)
