Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

You have the Data for three variables of interest:

"Weekly Gross Revenue"

"Television Advertising"

"Newspaper Advertising"

The owners of the Movie Theaters want to estimate the weekly gross revenue as a function of advertising expenditures.

For all asked regression the dependent variable will be Y: Weekly Gross Revenue

a)Using X: the amount of Television Advertising, as the independent variable, you have to test the simple linear regression.

The first step is to estimate the regression model

E(Yi)= α + βXi

Then ^Yi= a + bXi

Where "a" is the estimate of the intercept and "b" is the estimate of the slope.

Using a statistic software I've calculated the simple linear regression as:

a= -45.43

b= 40.06

^Yi= -45.43 + 40.06Xi

To test if there is a significant relationship between television advertising and weekly gross revenue you have to test the population slope of the regression, the hypotheses are:

H₀: β = 0

H₁: β ≠ 0

α: 0.05

You have two ways to test if the regression is significant, you either use a two-tailed t-test or a one-tailed F-test. They are two different distributions and test but you either one you can reach the same result.

I'll use the t-test for this item and the F-test for the later tests.

The p-value for this test is 0.0339

Using the p-value approach the decision rule is:

If p-value ≤ α, the decision is to reject the null hypothesis.

If the p-value > α, the decision is to not reject the null hypothesis.

The p-value: 0.0339 is less than α: 0.05, the decision is to reject the null hypothesis.

The conclusion is that there is a significant relationship between television advertising and weekly gross revenue.

Looking at the estimated value of the slope, these two variables may have a direct relationship, i.e. every time the amount of television advertising is increased, the weekly gross revenue increases too. (This is only a supposition, without a propper hypothesis test you cannot conclude anything)

b) To know what % of the variation of the weekly gross revenue is explained by the model you have to calculate the coefficient of determination.

For item a) the coefficient is:

R²= 0.56

This means that 56% of the variability of the weekly gross revenue is explained by the amount of television advertisement under the estimated model: ^Yi= -45.43 + 40.06Xi

c) This time you have to develop a regression equation using two independent variables, be:

X₁: Amount of Television Advertising

X₂: Amount of Newspaper Advertising

The multiple regression model will be

E(Yi)= α + β₁X₁ + β₂X₂

α is the intercept ⇒ its estimator will be a

β₁ is the slope corresponding to X₁ ⇒ its estimator will be b₁

β₂ is the slope corresponding to X₂ ⇒ its estimator will be b₂

The estimated multiple regression model is ^Y= -42.57 + 22.40X₁ + 19.50X₂

The hypotheses for the overall regression are:

H₀: β₁ = β₂ = 0

H₁: At least one βi ≠ 0 ∀ i= 1, 2

α: 0.05

For this hypothesis test is best to use the F-test

p-value: 0.0012

The p-value is less than α, the decision is to reject the null hypothesis.

Using a significance level of 5%, the overall regression is statistically significant.

For the single hypotheses I'll use the t-student and p-value approach:

1) Intercept

H₀: α = 0

H₁: α ≠ 0

α: 0.05

p-value: 0.1961

The p-value is greater than the level of significance, the decision is to not reject the null hypothesis.

2) Slope for X₁

H₀: β₁ = 0

H₁: β₁ ≠ 0

α: 0.05

p-value: 0.0252

The p-value is less than the significance level, the decision is to reject the null hypothesis.

Using a significance level of 5%, the regression is significant i.e. the amount of television advertising modifies the average weekly gross revenue.

3) Slope for X₂

H₀: β₂ = 0

H₁: β₂ ≠ 0

α: 0.05

p-value: 0.0033

The p-value is less than the significance level, the decision is to reject the null hypothesis.

Using a significance level of 5%, the regression is significant, i.e. the amount of newspaper advertising modifies the average weekly gross revenue.

d) The corresponding coefficient of determination for the multiple regression is R²= 0.93

93% of the variability of the average weekly gross revenue is explained jointly by the amount of television advertisement and newspaper advertisement under the estimated model: ^Y= -42.57 + 22.40X₁ + 19.50X₂

e) and f)

Comparing the result in a) and c) you can say that both independent variables are good to explain the dependent variable.

Comparing both R², we can say that the amount of television advertisement alone isn't a good explanatory variable for the variability weekly gross revenue but together with the amount of newspaper advertisement it becomes a good explanatory variable.

I hope this helps!
