Question

Johnson Filtration, Inc., provides maintenance service for water filtration systems throughout southern Florida. Customers contact Johnson with requests for maintenance service on their water filtration systems. To estimate the service time and the service cost, Johnson's managers want to predict the repair time necessary for each maintenance request. Hence, repair time in hours is the dependent variable. Repair time is believed to be related to three factors; the number of months since the last maintenance service, the type of repair problem (mechanical or electrical), and the repairperson who performs the repair (Donna Newton or Bob Jones). Data for a sample of 10 service calls are reported in the following table.

Explanation / Answer

Using R

So the model is

Y=  2.1473 + 0.3041  *X

Call:
lm(formula = Y ~ X)

Residuals:
Min 1Q Median 3Q Max
-1.2597 -0.4772 0.1821 0.4509 1.0362

Coefficients:
Estimate Std. Error t value Pr(>|t|)
(Intercept) 2.1473 0.6050 3.549 0.00752 **

Signif. codes: 0 ‘***’ 0.001 ‘**’ 0.01 ‘*’ 0.05 ‘.’ 0.1 ‘ ’ 1

Residual standard error: 0.781 on 8 degrees of freedom
Multiple R-squared: 0.5342, Adjusted R-squared: 0.4759
F-statistic: 9.174 on 1 and 8 DF, p-value: 0.01634

1) So the model is

Y=  2.1473 + 0.3041  *X

2) What are the interpretations of the estimated regression parameters?

If X=0 then value of Y is 2.1473 .

and If X increses 1 unit then then Y increases 0.3041 unit.

------> 0.5342

Interpret the coefficient of determination.

Hours. this is used for model good or not .

a) Use the data to develop the simple linear regression equation to predict repair time given the number of months since the last maintenance service. Let x represent the number of months since the last maintenance service.

So the model is

Y=  2.1473 + 0.3041  *X

Call:
lm(formula = Y ~ X)

Residuals:
Min 1Q Median 3Q Max
-1.2597 -0.4772 0.1821 0.4509 1.0362
