...2015 DQ 1 Selecting a complete set of independent variables is always an issue when using regression analysis to estimate demand. For example, analysts often use price and advertising to estimate quantity demanded. However, how do they know that these two variables were sufficient? How do we know that we didn’t omit other variables which would have had a significant impact on demand? How do we know that we didn’t include variables that were not needed? Explain how analysts would answer such questions. DQ 2 Suppose you want to use regression analysis to estimate the selling price of single family homes in a given neighborhood. You assemble data on selling price, square footage, number of bedrooms, number of bathrooms, age of the house, and lot size. Which variable(s) are dependent? Which are independent? For each independent variable you listed, indicate whether you would expect the sign of that variable to be positive or negative, and why.

The topics to focus in these Chapters are listed below following the general guidelines. General Guidelines for Preparation for the Test At the outset I want you to realize that this is an open book test, but full preparation is absolutely necessary. If you are not prepared enough and need to turn the pages of the book or power point slides or my Instructions at every step, then it would not be possible for you to finish all questions in time. Also remember that the questions are based on the Text Book chapter topics and my Instructions but are not directly from the book (as was also true in your bi-weekly assignments). Review my Instructions on the six chapters covered in the Midterm. Besides, also review the Two Tri-Weekly assignment solutions. As you have already seen, I give the solution to the Tri-Weekly Assignments with necessary explanations and details immediately after I finish grading (usually within 48 hours from the deadline for assignment submission). And I provide ppt slides for all chapters covered in this course. Moreover, I provide hints and explanations in my responses to all your emails everyday of the week and to questions in the Virtual Office. So you have enough resources available to prepare for the tests and assignments. But having so many resources available sometimes...

...Overview and examples from Finite Mathematics Using Microsoft Excel® Revathi Narasimhan Saint Peter's College An electronic supplement to Finite Mathematics and Its Applications, 6th Ed. , by Goldstein, Schneider, and Siegel, Prentice Hall, 1997 Introduction In any introductory mathematics course designed for non-mathematics majors, it is important for the student to understand and apply mathematical ideas in a variety of contexts. With the increased use of advanced software in all fields, it is also important for the student to effectively interact with the new technology. Our goal is to integrate these two objectives in a supplement for the text Finite Mathematics and Its Applications, by Goldstein, Schneider, and Siegel. The package consists of interactive tutorials and projects in an Excel workbook format. The software platform used is the Microsoft Excel 5.0 spreadsheet. It was chosen for the following reasons: • • • suited to applications encountered in a finite math course widespread use outside of academia ease of creating reports with a professional look Use of Excel 5.0 was put into effect in the author's sections of the Finite Mathematics II course in the Spring 1996 semester. It was expanded to cover the Finite Mathematics I course for the Fall semester of 1996. Using a combination of specially designed projects and tutorials, students are able to analyze data, draw conclusions, and present their analysis in a professional format. The mathematical...
