...Abstract This paper describes the application of regression analysis for the workplace. Three sets of variables are investigated - benefits and intrinsic job satisfaction, benefits and extrinsic job satisfaction, and finally benefits and overall job satisfaction. The regression analysis is performed using Excel and the results are shown in this paper, along with a graph for each set. The results are analyzed for recommendation to the company. Introduction Regression analysis is performed on three sets of variables – benefits and intrinsic job satisfaction, benefits and extrinsic job satisfaction, and finally benefits and overall job satisfaction. The results of the regression analysis are used to determine whether any relationship exists for the three sets of variables and the strength of the relationship.

Understanding how costs behave, whether costs are relevant to specific decisions, and how costs are affected by income taxes allows managers to determine the impact of changing costs and other factors on a variety of decisions. This chapter introduces concepts and tools that will be used in Chapters 6 through 8. Chapter 5 begins with a definition of cost behavior and illustrates the concepts of fixed costs, variable costs, and mixed costs. Next, the chapter revisits the concept of relevant costs (introduced in Chapter 1) as it applies to variable and fixed costs. The chapter also describes the impact of income taxes on costs. Learning Objectives After studying the material in this chapter, you should be able to: 1 Describe the nature and behavior of fixed, variable, and mixed costs Analyze mixed costs using regression analysis and the high/low method 2 Distinguish between relevant and irrelevant costs and apply the concept to decision making 3 Illustrate the impact of income taxes...

(2012), Statistical Techniques in Business and Economics, 15th International Ed., McGraw Hill [Chapter 13] Earlier edts are also suitable. Waters, D., (2008) Quantitative Methods for Business,4th Ed., Financial Times, Prentice Hall [Chapter 9] When we look at interval or ratio scale variables there is often a relationship, eg: price and quantity demanded; time spent studying and exam results obtained; gardai (police) on duty and number of crimes as well as alcohol consumed and sensibility! Regression and correlation analysis is useful because it allows us predict the value of one variable from the knowledge of another. The said relationship can be positive or negative. One first step in establishing if any of these relationships exist is to draw a scatter graph. A Scatter plot or diagram is a chart that portrays the relationship between the two variables. It is the usual first step in correlation analysis * The Dependent variable is the variable being predicted or estimated. * The Independent variable provides the basis for estimation. It is the predictor variable. Correlation Analysis From a scatter plot we have a first picture of the data. The next step is to calculate a measure which can assess the strength of that relationship. The correlation coefficient r which represents correlation in a sample is calculated as: r =...

In a statistics course, a linear regression equation was computed to predict the final exam score from the first quiz score. The equation obtained was Y = 10 + 0.9 X, where Y is the final exam score and X is the first quiz score. A prediction interval for Al Bundy who scored 95 on the first quiz and on the final exam scored 98 was computed. Also a confidence interval for mean score of 95 on the first quiz was computed. From this we can conclude: a) Al Bundy’s prediction interval in wider than the confidence interval. b) Al Bundy’s prediction interval in shorter than the confidence interval...

With the help of factor analysis and regression we are trying to find out the willingness of a customer to pay at a particular outlet and hence what should be the pricing strategy of the pizza chain. The main elements in our study which affect the spending capacity and willingness are combo offers, services and variety offered by the outlets. Hence using this analysis we have also tried to find the premium which these outlets can charge over to its customers for the same products.

...Regression Analysis Definition: Regression is used to examine the relationship between one dependent and one independent variable. After performing an analysis, the regression statistics can be used to predict the dependent variable when the independent variable is known. Regression goes beyond correlation by adding prediction capabilities. Types Of Regression Analysis: Most widely used two types of regression analysis are- I [pic] Linear Regression Analysis: When the regression is conducted by two variables or factors then is called linear regression analysis. Multiple regression analysis: Multiple regression analysis is a technique for explanation of occurrence and calculation of future actions. A coefficient of correlation among variables X also Y is a quantitative index of connection involving these two variables. In squared type, while a coefficient of purpose specifies the quantity of difference in the principle variable Y that is accounted for through the deviation in the analyst variable X.

Question 1 Shown below are rental and leasing revenue figures for office machinery and equipment in the United States over a seven-year period according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Use these data to run a linear regression and then forecast the rental and leasing revenue for the year 2012. Year Rental and Leasing ($ millions) 2004 5,860 2005 6,632 2006 7,125 2007 6,000 2008 4,380 2009 3,326 2010 2,642 Question 2 Suppose a researcher gathered survey data from 19 employees and asked the employees to rate their job satisfaction on a scale from 0 to 100 (with 100 being perfectly satisfied). Suppose the following data represent the results of this survey. Assume that relationship with supervisor is rated on a scale from 0 to 50 (0 represents poor relationship and 50 represents an excellent relationship), overall quality of the work environment is rated on a scale from 0 to 100 (0 represents poor work environment and 100 rep resents an excellent work environment), and opportunities for advancement is rated on a scale from 0 to 50 (0 represents no opportunities and 50 represents excellent opportunities).

I was also able to determine that commercial and residential bills get paid at different times based on the amount of them. We can also say that with the slope of .0166 (residential) means for each increase of one unit in X, the Y is estimated to increase .0166 units. On the other side the commercial business the slope of -0.191 for each increase of one unit in x, the Y is estimated to increase -0.191. The regression analysis for commercial represents 95.7% of our data, but we cannot say with 95% certainty that for residential customers that the size of the...
