Analysis Problem This homework involves the analysis of a real-world survey project for the customers of a restaurant in Dallas, TX, SFG. The questions here are the same questions to answer for your project. The questions for this homework, and their corresponding solutions, provide the template for the multiple regression analysis for your project and for the Final. Data: http://web.pdx.edu/~gerbing/data/SFGsfg.csv <-- copy & paste to web browser customers respond to the individual items with a 7-pt likert format, from 1 to 7. assess the customer's perception of the outcome variable satisfaction (x22) with the following item: how satisfied are you with the sfg? not satisfiedvery at allsatisfied 1234567 what are the reasons that contribute to customer satisfaction? for the outcome variable of satisfaction (named x22 in the data table), consider the follow three potential contributors: · is a fun place to eat (x13)
· has an attractive interior (x17) · has excellent taste (x18) the customer evaluates each item on the following likert scale. stronglystrongly disagreeagree 1234567 analysis question:to what extent do perceived fun, attractiveness and tastiness together account for overall satisfaction of the restaurant dining experience at restaurant sfg? do questions a through r and t, u, and y from the template. use the following information for questions e and f. regression analysis scatterplot/correlation matrix a. identify the response variable and the predictor variable(s). b. show the scatterplot matrix (just one scatterplot for a single predictor) and correlation coefficients of the relationship of each of the variables in the model with each other. from only this visual information, develop some intuition for the subsequent analysis. i. relevance: do the predictor variables relate to the target (response) variable? explain. ii. uniqueness: [if multiple predictor variables] could collinearity be a problem? explain. iii. model selection: [if multiple predictor variables] given the correlations, what is the most likely candidate for the final model? explain. estimated model c. write the estimated regression model. d. specify and interpret the sample slope coefficient. e. manually calculate the fitted/predicted value for the given values of predictor variables x. f. manually calculate the associated residual. interpret for the given values of predictor variables x and response variable y. hypothesis test: applied to the one specified predictor variable g. specify the null hypothesis and its alternative for the hypothesis test of the slope coefficient.

[do not provide the confidence interval, which is the estimate, not the value that it estimates] m. apply the definition of the 95% margin of error for its computation using the relevant numbers of this analysis with 2 approximating the t-cutoff. [show the definition in words of the concept by applying the relevant numbers of this specific analysis, with or without a formula] n. show the computations of the 95% confidence interval illustrated with the specific numbers from this analysis.

[no jargon, which includes the phrase “slope coefficient”, nothing about hypothesis tests] p. demonstrate the consistency of the confidence interval and hypothesis test using the specific numbers for this analysis for both results. [comparison includes the specifics of the numbers for this specific analysis for both inferential results] model fit q. evaluate fit with the standard deviation of residuals. r. evaluate fit with r2 and press r2, including their comparison. does this value indicate reasonable fit? s. show any potential outliers and explain why they are outliers. model selection [if multiple predictor variables] t. consider all the predictor variables simultaneously. based on the p-values of the slope coefficients, are any predictor variables much less useful for predicting the response variable (target)? why or why not? u. any collinearity problems? why or why not? v. based on this information and the best subset analysis, which model do you recommend? why? prediction intervals w. for the 95% prediction interval of [response variable y] for [the values of predictor variables x], show the interval including its calculation (can approximate with the t-cutoff of 2). x. interpret the prediction interval. conclusion y. what decision do you recommend to management based on these results? e. value of all three predictor variables: 4 f. value of the response variable: 5 copy="" &="" paste="" to="" web="" browser="" customers="" respond="" to="" the="" individual="" items="" with="" a="" 7-pt="" likert="" format,="" from="" 1="" to="" 7.="" assess="" the="" customer's="" perception="" of="" the="" outcome="" variable="" satisfaction="" (x22)="" with="" the="" following="" item:="" how="" satisfied="" are="" you="" with="" the="" sfg?="" not="" satisfied="" very="" at="" all="" satisfied="" 1="" 2="" 3="" 4="" 5="" 6="" 7="" what="" are="" the="" reasons="" that="" contribute="" to="" customer="" satisfaction?="" for="" the="" outcome="" variable="" of="" satisfaction="" (named="" x22="" in="" the="" data="" table),="" consider="" the="" follow="" three="" potential="" contributors:="" ·="" is="" a="" fun="" place="" to="" eat="" (x13)
