Q1: Using regression techniques, we can plot a scatter diagram and plot a line to the data using the Least Squares method. Generally, the points do not fall directly on the line. Why does this happen? Is it a problem? Explain the parameters in a linear regression line with the aid of co-ordinate axis. How could you say, if the s
The company I work for makes stainless steel surgical bars and bronze pipe. Each pound of stainless steel surgical bar takes approximately .25 hours of labor and uses roughly 5 kilowatts of electricity. Each pound of bronze pipe takes approximately .5 hours of labor and uses roughly 2 kilowatts of electricity. In creating the br
A bank has $650,000 in assets to allocate among investments in bonds, home mortgages, car loans, and personal loans. Bonds are expected to produce a return of 10%, mortgages 8.5%, car loans 9.5%, and personal loans 12.5%. To make sure the portfolio is not too risky, the bank wants to restrict personal loans to no more than 25% o
