the model where appropriate. A sample of participants on a management development programme within the Irish health service completed the Learning Transfer System Inventory based on the Holton model. The data obtained were analysed using multiple regression and partial correlation techniques. Results indicate that the model does adequately represent the effects of its factors, although a slightly revised model is presented. Important relationships between factors are identified, and the central role

Appalachian Coal Mining believes that it can increase labor productivity and, there- fore, net revenue by reducing air pollution in its mines. It estimates that the marginal cost function for reducing pollution by installing additional capital equipment is MC 40P where P represents a reduction of one unit of pollution in the mines. It also feels that for every unit of pollution reduction the marginal increase in revenue (MR) is MR 1,000 10P How much pollution reduction should Appalachian Coal

more guests, and the estimated regression model would be able to predict the numbers of visitor by a specified amount of shuttle bus services. Methodology: We let the independent variable X = frequency of shuttle bus service, and the dependent variable Y = the number of guests visiting the casino. Then it will utilize the linear regression method to determine the relationship between these two variables. By conducting the analysis, the value of the regression coefficient will be determined
