A Local Tire Dealer Wants to Predict the Number of Tires

question 81

Short Answer

A local tire dealer wants to predict the number of tires sold each month.He believes that the number of tires sold is a linear function of the amount of money invested in advertising.He randomly selects 6 months of data consisting of tire sales (in thousands of tires)and advertising expenditures (in thousands of dollars).Based on the data set with 6 observations,the simple linear regression equation of the least squares line is ŷ = 3 + 1x. MSE = 4
Use the least squares regression equation and estimate the monthly tire sales when advertising expenditures = $4,000.
