question 139

Multiple Choice

SCENARIO 18-9
What are the factors that determine the acceleration time (in sec. ) from 0 to 60 miles per hour of a car? Data on the following variables for 171 different vehicle models were collected:
Accel Time: Acceleration time in sec.
Cargo Vol: Cargo volume in cu.ft.
HP: Horsepower MPG: Miles per gallon
SUV: 1 if the vehicle model is an SUV with Coupe as the base when SUV and Sedan are both 0 Sedan: 1 if the vehicle model is a sedan with Coupe as the base when SUV and Sedan are both 0
The regression results using acceleration time as the dependent variable and the remaining variables as the independent variables are presented below.
The various residual plots are as shown below.

The coefficient of partial determination ( R² _{yj.(All variables except j )} ) of each of the 5 predictors are, respectively,0.0380,0.4376,0.0248,0.0188,and 0.0312.
The coefficient of multiple determination for the regression model using each of the 5 variables X _j as the dependent variable and all other X variables as independent variables ( R² _j ) are,respectively, 0.7461,0.5676,0.6764,0.8582,0.6632.
-Referring to Scenario 18-9,which of the following assumptions is most likely violated based on the residual plot for HP?

Definitions:

Aggregate Planning

The process of creating a production plan to meet demand over a medium-term horizon by adjusting production rates, workforce levels, and inventory levels.

Average Demand

Refers to the average quantity of a product or service that consumers purchase over a specific time period.

Peak Demand

The highest level of demand for a product or service in a particular period, often requiring careful planning and resource allocation to meet.

Minimum Demand

The lowest level of demand for a product or service over a given period, crucial for planning minimum production or service capability.
