Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In a business context, how can linear regression be applied?
  • Step 1: Understand that linear regression is a statistical method used to find the relationship between two variables.
  • Step 2: Identify the variables you want to analyze. For example, you might want to see how advertising spend affects sales.
  • Step 3: Collect data on both variables. This could include past advertising budgets and corresponding sales figures.
  • Step 4: Use linear regression to create a model that shows how changes in advertising spend predict changes in sales.
  • Step 5: Analyze the results of the model to see if increasing advertising spend leads to higher sales.
  • Step 6: Use the model to make future predictions about sales based on different levels of advertising spend.
