Question

Use computer software packages, such as Minitab or Excel, to solve this problem. The owner of Showtime Movie Theaters, Inc., would like to predict weekly gross revenue as a function of advertising expenditures. Historical data for a sample of eight weeks follow.

Develop an estimated regression equation with the amount of television advertising as the independent variable (to 1 decimal).
Revenue =  +  TVAdv

Develop an estimated regression equation with both television advertising and newspaper advertising as the independent variables (to 2 decimals).
Revenue =  +  TVAdv +  NewsAdv

Predict weekly gross revenue for a week when $3.2 thousand is spent on television advertising and $2 thousand is spent on newspaper advertising?

$ in thousands

Weekly Television Newspaper Gross Revenue Advertising Advertising ($1,000s) ($1,000s) ($1,000s) 97 5.0 1.5 90 2.0 2.0 95 4.0 1.5 92 2.5 2.5 97 3.0 3.3 94 3.5 2.3 94 2.5 4.2 105 3.0 2.5   

Explanation / Answer

Develop an estimated regression equation with the amount of television advertising as the independent variable (to 1 decimal).

Predict weekly gross revenue for a week when $3.2 thousand is spent on television advertising and $2 thousand is spent on newspaper advertising?

Weekly gross = 84.6 + 2.28 Television advertising + 1.46 * Newspaper advertising

Weekly gross = 84.6 + 2.28*3.2 + 1.46*2

Predicted Weekly gross = $94.816 thousand
