Instruction 12.9
The management of a chain electronic store would like to develop a model for predicting the weekly sales (in thousands of dollars) for individual stores based on the number of customers who made purchases. A random sample of 12 stores yields the following results:
$$\begin{array} { | c | c | }
\hline \text { Customers } & \text { Sales (Thousands of Dollars) } \
\hline 907 & 11.20 \
\hline 926 & 11.05 \
\hline 713 & 8.21 \
\hline 741 & 9.21 \
\hline 780 & 9.42 \
\hline 898 & 10.08 \
\hline 510 & 6.73 \
\hline 529 & 7.02 \
\hline 460 & 6.12 \
\hline 872 & 9.52 \
\hline 650 & 7.53 \
\hline 603 & 7.25 \
\hline
\end{array}$$
-Referring to Instruction 12.9,93.98% of the total variation in weekly sales can be explained by the variation in the number of customers who make purchases.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To determine the percentage of the total variation in weekly sales explained by the variation in the number of customers, a statistical analysis such as a correlation coefficient or a determination coefficient (R^2) from a linear regression model would be needed. The given information does not provide these statistics, so the specific percentage cannot be confirmed without further calculation.
