Hence, the regression equation is Quality = 106.085 – 0.916 temperature + 0.788 pressure. The value of R-square is 0.2115. The quality score falls by 0.916 and the pressure would remain constant when the temperature increases by one degree. The quality score rises by 0.788 and the temperature would remain constant when the pressure increases by one pound.

b)

Summary Introduction

To run: The regression by adding an interaction term between pressure and temperature.

Explanation of Solution

The quality score would increase by 7.086 – 0.145×pressure and the pressure would remain constant when the temperature increases by one degree. The quality score would increase by 13.883 – 0.145×temperature and the temperature would remain constant when the pressure increases by one pound per square inch. Based on the level of the pressure, the coefficient would indicate the quality change rate with respect to the temperature.

When it first debuted, Telsa was selling its Model 3 sedan for $35,000. The Model 3 was priced substantially less than Tesla’s other models at the time, however, it had similar quality and input costs. In charging such a low price, it is most likely that Tesla is trying to: A. Create more value without capturing more value B. Capture more value without creating more value C. Create and capture more value D. None of the above
Suppose that you want to study the effect of occupational licensing on quality of care received at nursing homes. Suppose further that you come across a policy which states that facilities with fewer than 100 beds are not required to hire licensed workers, while those with over 100 beds are required to hire licensed workers. Suppose further you assume that facilities with fewer than 100 beds are similar to facilities with just over 100 beds (as if it is random which facilities fall on which side of the threshold). Given this description, the most straightforward method you can use to identify the causal effect of licensing requirement on quality of care is: Difference-in-differences (diff-in-diff) Instrumental variables (IV) Regression discontinuity design (RDD)
A negative value of Z in standard normal distribution indicates that a. the number of standard deviations of an observation is to the right of the mean b. the number of standard deviations of an observation is to the left of the mean c. a mistake has been made in computations since Z cannot be negative d. the data has a negative mean   2. Which of the following will increase the breakeven point? a. Increase selling price b. Increase fixed cost c. Decrease variable cost d. Decrease fixed cost 3. The manager of a manufacturing company is trying to figure out how many products need to be produced for the coming quarter. Suppose the beginning inventory of the quarter is 500 units and the management predicts that the sales volume in the coming quarter would be 2400 units. The company also requires 1100 units ending inventory for the coming quarter. What should be the production volume for that quarter? a. 2400 b. 3000 c. 3300 d. 3900
