1) Blay mount Amateur Dramatic Society is staging a play and wants to know how much to spend on advertising, by getting a better understanding of the relationship between advertising and attendance. For the past 11 productions they have recorded their spending on advertising (in $) and the size of their audience and have performed a regression of attendance on spending (the resulting regression output is below). Unfortunately, none of the society members has taken a statistics (or Quantitative Analysis) course. To explain these regression results to the society, specifically address the following:
a) the overall statistical significance of the regression
b) the interpretation and the statistical significance of the intercept term
c) the statistical significance of the spending variables (with such a small data set you decide to use a significance level of 10% to determine statistical significance)
d) the relationship between advertising expenditures and attendance
i. If they were already planning to spend $500 on advertising for their next production, what would happen to attendance if they decided to spend a dollar more (i.e., the marginal benefit of advertising)? Round to the nearest whole person!
ii. If instead they were planning to spend only $100 on advertising for the upcoming production, what would happen to attendance if they decided to spend a dollar more? Round to the nearest whole person!
