The Zebra Wild Game Company sells exotic game to high end restaurants throughout the Far East. The sales manager wants to determine what, if any, relationship exists between the pounds of game sold by 24 sales persons and two independent variables, namely, the advertising dollars spent (in hundreds of thousands of dollars) and the market potential (in pounds).

Attached are the data and the multiple regression output.

Using the attached MegaStat output identify and interpret the confidence and prediction intervals for given values of the independent variables

Round all value entries to three decimal places.

When the advertising expenditure = two hundred thousand dollars and the market potential = 200:

predicted value =

Interpretation of the predicted value:

A. This is the sales we predict will occur 95% of the time when the advertising expenditure = 200 thousand dollars and the market potential = 200.

B. This is the point prediction of sales when the advertising expenditure = 200 thousand dollars and market potential = 200.

C. This is the sales level we use to predict when the advertisingpounds
expenditure = 200 thousand dollars and the market potential = 200

D. This is our prediction of the standard error associated with an advertising expenditure of 200 thousand dollars and a market potential of 200 pounds.

E. This value has no practical interpretation.
