• Identify the baseline for qualitative predictor.

  • Baseline: Offline campaigns
  • Purpose: Compare the impact of other campaign types against this reference group

• What does the histogram of regression standardized residual for sales revenue tell us?

  • Histogram Characteristics: Shows distribution.
  • Dependent Variable: Sales Revenue (in $1,000s).
  • Mean of Residuals: Very close to 0 (0.000).
  • Standard Deviation (SD): 0.969.
  • Sample Size (N): 180.
  • Data Shape: Normal distribution.

• What data has the company collected to analyze marketing strategies' impact on sales revenue?

  • Advertising Spend ($ in 1000s): Budget for ads.
  • Social Media Reach (1000s of users): Customers through social media.
  • Product Reviews (Rating out of 10): Customer feedback.
  • Campaign Type: Online or Other.

• How does the normal P-P plot evaluate the regression residuals for sales revenue?

  • P-P Plot Components: Compares observed vs. expected probabilities.
  • Dependent Variable: Sales Revenue (in $1,000s).
  • Line Fit: Points closely follow the diagonal.
  • Indication: Residuals are normally distributed.

• How was the model developed to predict Sales Revenue using the collected data?

  • R Square: 0.981
  • Adjusted R Square: 0.961
  • Standard Error: 19.73101
  • Durbin-Watson: 2.388
  • Predictors: Advertising Spend, Campaign, Online, Product

• Interpret the coefficient of the independent variable Campaign_Online.

  • Coefficient Interpretation: Represents the change in sales revenue for online campaigns compared to the baseline (offline)
  • Indicates impact of switching to online campaigns

• Explain why the constant coefficient (b0) has no practical meaning in this context.

  • Constant Coefficient (b0): Represents sales revenue with all predictors at zero
  • Practical Irrelevance: Zero values for predictors are non-sensible in real-world scenarios

• What were the results of the ANOVA for the model predicting Sales Revenue?

  • Regression Sum of Squares: 977553.773
  • Residual Sum of Squares: 36594.773
  • Total Sum of Squares: 994220.496
  • Significance (Sig.): 0.000

• What was found significant in the coefficients of the model developed?

  • Constant: 2.789
  • Advertising Sp. ($ in 1000s): 0.162, Sig. 0.013
  • Social Media Reach: 7.072, Sig. 0.000
  • Product Reviews: 5.641, Sig. 0.013
  • Campaign (Online): -0.471, Sig. 0.947

• Analyze the normality of residuals using a histogram.

  • Histogram Analysis: Visualizes distribution of residuals
  • Interpretation: Skewness or kurtosis indicates non-normal distribution
