Part 1 of 5 HW Score: 31.43%, 1.57 of 5 points O Points: 0 of 1 Saw Kaitlyn Tran, owner of Flower Power, operates a local chain of floral shops. Each shop has its own delivery van. Instead of charging a flat delivery fee, Tran wants to set the delivery fe based on the distance driven to deliver the flowers. Tran wants to separate the fixed and variable portions of her van operating costs so that she has a better idea how delivery distanc affects these costs. Flower Power does a regression analysis on the next year's data using Excel. The output generated by Excel is as follows: (Click the icon to view the regression analysis.) Read the requirements Requirement 1. Determine the firm's cost equation (use the output from the Excel regression).

Determine the firm's cost equation (use the output from the Excel regression). 2. Determine the R-squared (use the output from the Excel regression). What does Flower Power's R-squared indicate? 3. Predict van operating costs at a volume of 15,000 miles assuming the company would use the cost equation from the Excel regression regardless of its R-squared. Should the company rely on this cost estimate? Why or why not? Print Done
