Regression analysis

See attached file for full problem description.

Suppose that the sales manager of a company wishes to evaluate the performance of the company's sales representatives. Each sales representative is solely responsible for one sales territory, and the manager decides that it is reasonable to measure performance of a sales representative by using the yearly sales of the company's product in the representative's sales territory (Y). The manager feels that the sales performance depends on the following five independent variables:

X1 = number of months the representative has been employed by the company
X2 = sales of the company's product and competing products in the sales territory
X3 = dollar advertising expenditure in the territory
X4 = weighted average if the company's market share in the territory for the previous four years
X5 = change in the company's market share in the territory over the previous four years

a) Please write down the regression equation between Y as the dependent variable and X1,X2,X3,X4 and X5 as independent variables.

b) Please interpret all regression coefficients in the context of the above problem (i.e. β0, β1, ... ,β5).

c) Determine the standard error of the estimate, coefficient of determination and the adjusted coefficient of determination.

d) At the 0.01 level of significance, which of the independent variables have significant effects?

e) Using a 0.01 level of significance, do you think that at least one of the independent variables provide any explanatory power in predicting Y?

Please state your hypothesis clearly (both verbally and symbolically). Also briefly explain the testing procedure (namely what type of test you are using and why you are using it).

f) Calculate the VIFs for the variables X1 and X2.

g) Do you think there exists multi-colinearity in the model? Why or why not?

h-i-j) Please check the validity of your model, in other words check whether the
regression assumptions (all three of them) hold in your model. In doing so, please briefly
explain your reasoning (state your hypothesis', test statistics, rejection regions and
conclusions for all 3).

Please use the following JMP-IN output to in order to answer the above questions.
