a. What has been the sample size for this problem?
b. Determine whether or not demand and unit price are related. Use α = 0.05.
c. Compute the coefficient of determination and fully interpret its meaning. Be very specific.
d. Compute the coefficient of correlation and explain the relationship between supply and unit price.
e. Predict the supply (in units) when the unit price is $50,000.
Question 3
Allied Corporation wants to increase the productivity of its line workers. Four different programs have been suggested to help increase productivity. Twenty employees, making up a sample, have been randomly assigned to one of the four programs and their output for a day's work has been recorded.

a. What is the estimated regression equation? Show the regression output.
b. Determine whether the model is significant overall. Use α = 0.10.
c. Determine if competitor's price and advertising is individually significantly related to sales. Use α = 0.10.
d. Based on your answer to part (c), drop any insignificant independent variable(s) and re-estimate the model. What is the new estimated regression equation?
e. Interpret the slope coefficient(s) of the model from part (d).
