This means that none of our comparisons are going to be practically significant. Just a few of the comparisons weren’t statistically significant. On the proposed methods for Tanglewood, we have plenty of options to consider when looking at our predictors correlated to citizenship, absence, performance, and promotion potential. The Marshfield Customer Service Biodata Questionnaire and Essay turned out to be the best predictor of citizenship. The Biodata had a correlation of .22 and p-value < .01 when comparing to citizenship.
$500 (= $25 ´ 20 radios not stolen due to hiring 1 guard) c. 4 Chapter 4 Applied Problem 1. a. The intercept a is expected to be positive because even if no advertising is undertaken, some sales are expected to occur. b is expected to have a positive sign since Vanguard's sales are positively related to its level of advertising expenditures. Vanguard's sales should be inversely related to its rivals' expenditures on advertising, so c is expected to be negative. b. a is the sales of Bright Side detergent when neither Vanguard nor its rivals advertise.
The contingency coefficient is: .048. This indicates a weak, positive relationship between the two variables. This means that race has little impact on if a person is having serious trouble with their spouse. The approximate sig. is: .065.
If they were to consolidate and attempt to strengthen their products or reap without investing the gains they would yield would be far less than if they were to spend the time and money to thoroughly develop new products. As there is not any specific information on the items in question in the decision branches I have to base my determination off of the market reactions and predicted gains of each branch. At the same time the developing thoroughly branch also has higher predicted gains on the good and moderate market reaction branches while also have a lower probability of poor market reaction than the other decision
Since one of the goals of this project is to obtain the highest value for the R2 or adjusted R2 statistics to estimate fair market value price for local housing; the adjusted R2 statistics value obtained from the five-variable model will not be used due to having lower value than the one obtained from a three variable model. This is an indication that adding information on X2 (number of car garage) and X4 ( number of bathrooms) do not appear to help to explain selling prices in any significant way when X1, X3 and X5 are already in the model. | The Best Model: | The best model is the model whose regression analysis resulted in the highest value for the R2 or adjusted R2 statistics. And this model is the regression model with three variables represented by: X1 – Total Floor Area X3 – Total Number of Bedrooms X5 – Either being sold directly by the owner or through a realtor agentThe regression functions for this model is: Ŷi = 134.929 + 0.108X1 – 25.696X3 + 51.79X5 [±2(51.482)]
Each of these measures is rated on numerical scale from excellent to poor or on a subjective level. Tanglewood has the opportunity to fine tune its recruiting system. This will allow Tanglewood to hire the most qualified candidates. By using the new predictors, Tanglewood has the opportunity to compliment the company’s traditional recruiting methods.

A firm utilizing a cost leadership strategy seeks to be the low-cost producer relative to its competitors. A differentiation strategy requires that the firm possess a "non-price" attribute that distinguishes the firm as superior to its peers. Firms following a focus approach direct their attention to narrow product lines, buyer segments, or geographic markets. "Focused" firms will use cost or differentiation to gain advantage, but only within a narrow target market. COST ADVANTAGE
On the other hand, it’s much more objective and accurate to give scores based on the achievements of the student. In fact, this is a more commonly used way of assessing students. It’s because this takes less time and reflects the students’ performance better.

Thus, grading based on the achievement is better to reflect students’ capacity that companies need.
