Situation: The Ipod Touch has been out for two years now and a lot of data has been collected (Shown in the table below).
Relevant Relationship:
There is a functional relationship between Price of an IPod Touch, , (in $), and Weekly Demand , , (in thousands).
A.. Find the linear model that best fits this data using regression and enter the model below.
Note: Round the linear parameter value to nearest 0.01 and constant parameter to nearest 1. Write the answer in proper Function Notation)
Function:
B. The squared correlation coefficient was 0.95
(note: values less than 0.95 MAY mean the model is not appropriate for making predictions)
C. Using the function from Part A what does the model predict will be the weekly demand if the price of an ipod touch is $193 ? (Round to the nearest thousand)
The weekly demand for an ipod priced at $193 will be approximately
D. According to the model at what should the price be set in order to have a weekly demand of 201,900 ipod Touches? (Round to the nearest dollar).
To have a weekly demand of 201,900, the price of the ipod should be set at approximately $
Note: In the "real" world Apple sold about 20 million Ipod Touch's from Sept. 2007-Sept. 2009 Answer
