Exercise 14: Computing For The Pearson R Value and Testing Its Significance

- The Pearson r value between advertising expenditures and sales for several companies in 2009 was calculated to be 0.938, indicating a very high positive correlation. - This correlation was found to be statistically significant at the 5% level, showing there is a significant relationship between the two variables. - A simple linear regression equation was developed to predict sales from advertising expenditures: Sales = -41.18 + 14.81(Advertising Expenditures). Using this model, the predicted sales for a company spending $35 million on advertising was calculated to be $818,349,958.82.

Exercise 14: Computing for the Pearson r value and testing its significance

Compute the Pearson r value of the following data. Interpret the result. Test for the
significance of the Pearson r value using 5% level of significance.

A corporation owns several companies. The strategic planner of the corporation believes
that amount spent on advertising is significantly related to total sales. As an aid in long-
term planning, he gathers the following sales and advertising expenditures from several
of the companies for 2009 (Php million).

-there is a significant relationship between advertising expenditures and sales.

- the relationship is very high.

-at 5% level of significance, the Pearson coefficient is significant indicating a very high
correlation between advertising expenditures and sales.
Exercise 15: Developing simple regression equation, interpreting and predicting

A corporation owns several companies. The strategic planner of the corporation believes
that amount spent on advertising can to some extent be a predictor of total sales. As an
aid in long-term planning, he gathers the following sales and advertising expenditures
