What would be the assessed value of a medical office building with a floor area of 3500 sq. ft., 2 offices, that was built 15 years ago? Is this assessed value consistent with what appears in the database?

Regression Modeling

Construct a scatter plot in Excel with FloorArea as the independent variable and AssessmentValue as the dependent variable. Insert the bivariate linear regression equation and r^2 in your graph. Do you observe a linear relationship between the 2 variables?

Use Excel’s Analysis Tool Pak to conduct a regression analysis of Floor Area and Assessment Value. Is Floor Area a significant predictor of Assessment Value?

Construct a scatter plot in Excel with Age as the independent variable and AssessmentValue as the dependent variable. Insert the bivariate linear regression equation and r^2 in your graph. Do you observe a linear relationship between the 2 variables?

Use Excel’s Analysis ToolPak to conduct a regression analysis of Age and Assessment Value. Is Age a significant predictor of AssessmentValue?

Construct a multiple regression model.

Use Excel’s Analysis ToolPak to conduct a regression analysis with AssessmentValue as the dependent variable and FloorArea, Offices, Entrances, and Age as independent variables. What is the overall fit r^2? What is the adjusted r^2?

Which predictors are considered significant if we work with α=0.05? Which predictors can be eliminated?

What is the final model if we only use FloorArea and Offices as predictors?
Suppose our final model is: AssessedValue = 115.9 + 0.26 x FloorArea + 78.34 x Offices

What suggestions from the course materials would you want to apply to this hurting client? Why did you choose those suggestions as most important?

What guidelines would you particularly emphasize as you counsel hurting people? The five concepts you list should be based on the course materials, so make sure you cite the source you use.

What suggestions from the course materials would you want to apply to this hurting client? Why did you choose those suggestions as most important?

She questioned whether you were really helping her since she is still “feeling all this pain.” She left asking, “Why can’t you help remove this needless suffering?”

What is the slope? What does the slope tell us?Is the slope significant? What is the intercept? Is it meaningful?What is the value of the regression coefficient,r? What is the value of the coefficient of determination, r^2? What does r^2 tell us?

Week 5 Discussion

Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:

Models help us describe and summarize relationships between variables. Understanding how process variables relate to each other helps businesses predict and improve performance. For example, a marketing manager might be interested in modeling the relationship between advertisement expenditures and sales revenues.

Consider the dataset below and respond to the questions that follow:

Advertisement ($’000) Sales ($’000)

1068 4489
1026 5611
767 3290
885 4113
1156 4883
1146 5425
892 4414
938 5506
769 3346
677 3673
1184 6542
1009 5088

Construct a scatter plot with this data.
Do you observe a relationship between both variables?

Use Excel to fit a linear regression line to the data. What is the fitted regression model? (Hint: You can follow the steps outlined in Fitting a Regression on a Scatter Plot on page 497 of the textbook.)

What is the slope? What does the slope tell us?Is the slope significant?
What is the intercept? Is it meaningful?

What is the value of the regression coefficient,r? What is the value of the coefficient of determination, r^2? What does r^2 tell us?

Use the model to predict sales and the business spends $950,000 in advertisement. Does the model underestimate or overestimates ales?

Discuss how you determine the direction of the association between the two variables.Does the intercept make sense based on your observation of the line of best fit?

D.M. Pan Real Estate Company

Using the Module Three Assignment Template Word Document, specifically address the following:

Regression Equation: Provide the regression equation for the line of best fit using the scatterplot from the Module Two assignment.

Determine r: Determine r and what it means. (What is the relationship between the variables?)

Determine the strength of the correlation (weak, moderate, or strong).

Discuss how you determine the direction of the association between the two variables.

Is there a positive or negative association?

What do you see as the direction of the correlation?

Examine the Slope and Intercepts: Examine the slope b1 and intercept b0

Draw conclusions from the slope and intercept in the context of this problem.

Does the intercept make sense based on your observation of the line of best fit?

Determine the value of the land only.

Note: You can assume, when the square footage of the house is zero, that the price is the value of just the land. This happens when x=0, which is the y-intercept. Does this value make sense in context?

Determine the R-squared Coefficient: Determine the R-squared value.

Discuss what R-squared means in the context of this analysis.

Conclusions: Reflect on the Relationship: Reflect on the relationship between square feet and sales price by answering the following questions:

Is the square footage for homes in your selected region different than for homes overall in the United States?

For every 100 square feet, how much does the price go up (i.e., can you use slope to help identify price changes)?
