How many branch offices were involved in the study?

Compute the F statistic and test the significance of the relationship at a .05 level of significance.

Predict the annual sales at the Memphis branch office. This branch has 12 sales persons.

The following regression equation was obtained using the five independent variables.

The regression equation is

sales = - 19.7 - 0.00063 outlets + 1.74 cars + 0.410 income + 2.04 age - 0.034 bosses

What percent of the variation is explained by the regression equation?

What is the standard error of regression?

What is the critical value of the F-statistic?

What sample size is used in the print out?

What is the variance of the slope coefficient of income?

Conduct a global test of hypothesis to determine if any of the regression coefficients are not zero.

Conduct a test of hypothesis on each of the independent variables. Would you consider eliminating outlets and bosses?
