How to calculate regression
In a regression model if you drop one insignificant variable then a. R ^ 2 will increase and SSE also will increase . None R ^ 2 will decrease and SSE also will decrease . O d R ^ 2 will increase but SSE will decrease . O e R ^ 2 will decrease but SSE will increase .
A company's cost in dollars to produce n shoes is given by C(n)=5700+50n+0.75n^2.
Assume that revenue is proportional to the number of shoes produced, and making 80 shoes brings in $12,000 in revenue. What is the formula for total profit from the sale of n shoes?
At what production level is the average cost per shoe lowest?

The relationship is A=D^2/3S^3 / H Here speed is measured in knots and displacement is measured in tons. For Victory Ships produced in World War II, the Admiralty Coefficient was about 425. Their engines produced 6000 horsepower, and they had a displacement of 14,800 tons. What was the speed of a typical Victory Ship?

- Air pressure at sea level is 30 inches of mercury. At an altitude of h feet above sea level, the air pressure, P, in inches of mercury, is given by P(h)= 30e(-3.23*10^-5h) (a) Find the local linearization of P(h) near h= 0. (b) A common 'rule of thumb' used by travelers is that air pressure drops about 1 inch for every 1000-foot increase in height above the sea level. Explain why this 'rule of thumb' gives a reasonable method of estimation. (c) Does the local linearization found in part (a) give overestimates or underestimates of the exact air pressure? Explain why. (d) Does the 'rule of thumb' from part (b) give overestimates or underestimates of the exact air pressure?
