Use the dependent variable (labeled Y) and the independent variables (labeled X1, X2, and X3) in the data file. Use Excel to perform the regression and correlation analysis to answer the following.

1. Generate a scatterplot for the specified dependent variable (Y) and the X1 independent variable, including the graph of the "best fit" line. Interpret.
2. Determine the equation of the "best fit" line, which describes the relationship between the dependent variable and the selected independent variable.
3. Determine the coefficient of correlation. Interpret.
4. Determine the coefficient of determination. Interpret.
5. Test the utility of this regression model. Interpret results, including the p-value.
6. Based on the findings in Steps 1-5, analyze the ability of the independent variable to predict the designated dependent variable.
7. Compute the confidence interval for β₁ (the population slope) using a 95% confidence level. Interpret this interval.
8. Using an interval, estimate the average for the dependent variable for a selected value of the independent variable. Interpret this interval.
9. Using an interval, predict the particular value of the dependent variable for a selected value of the independent variable. Interpret this interval.
10. What can be said about the value of the dependent variable for values of the independent variable that are outside the range of the sample values? Explain.

In an attempt to improve the model, use a multiple regression model to predict the dependent variable, Y, based on all of the independent variables, X1, X2, and X3.

Using Excel, run the multiple regression analysis using the designated dependent and three independent variables. State the equation for this multiple regression model.

Perform the Global Test for Utility (F-Test). Explain the conclusion.

Perform the t-test on each independent variable. Explain the conclusions and clearly state how the analysis should proceed. In particular, which independent variables should be kept and which should be discarded. If any independent variables are to be discarded, re-run the multiple regression, including only the significant independent variables, and summarize results with discussion of analysis.

Is this multiple regression model better than the linear model generated in parts 1-10? Explain.

 

 

 

Summarize your results from Steps 1–14 in a three-page report. The report should explain and interpret the results in ways that are understandable to someone who does not know statistics.

Submission: The summary report and all of the work done in 1–14 (Excel output and interpretations) as an appendix
