Please refer to the directions in the Student Success Center.Paul Duncan, financial manager of EduSoft Inc., is facing a dilemma. The firm was founded 5 years ago to provide educational software for the rapidly expanding primary and secondary school markets.

he Shining Stars primary school was the recent recipient of a technology grant to source and implement a school management system. The school administrator is not technology savvy and therefore sought advice from three of the board members who were knowledgeable in the information systems and technology field.
One director advised the administrator to purchase an off-the-shelf solution which would allow the school to get the system configured and up and running in a short period with reasonable costs.
The second advised the administrator to invest in the development of a unique system to meet the custom requirements of the school’s administration. He suggested that this would create a closer fit to the school’s needs compared to purchasing software, but will cost more.
The third director suggested using an open source solution which would have little if any upfront costs but may take some time to set up.

(4) Students will check with their friends to find out, for example, what was on Dr. Thompson's biology final last term. (5) They may even manage to turn up a copy of the test itself, "accidentally" not turned in by a former student of Dr. Thompson's.

The critical reading and mathematics components of the SAT are reported on a scale from 200 to 800. Several universities believe these scores are strong predictors of an incoming student’s potential success, and they use these scores as important inputs when making admission decisions on potential freshman. The tile RugglesCollege contains freshman year GPA and the critical reading and mathematics SAT scores for a random sample of 200 students who recently completed their freshman year at Ruggles College. Develop an estimated multiple regression equation that includes critical reading and mathematics SAT scores as independent variables. How much variation in freshman GPA is explained by this model? Test whether each of the regression parameters β0, β1, and β2, is equal to zero at a 0.05 level of significance. What are the correct interpretations of the estimated regression parameters? Are these interpretations reasonable? Using the multiple linear regression model you developed in part (a), what is the predicted freshman GPA of Bobby Engle, a student who has been admitted to Ruggles College with a 660 SAT score on critical reading and at a 630 SAT score on mathematics? The Ruggles College Director of Admissions believes that the relationship between a student’s scores on the critical reading component of the SAT and the student’s freshman GPA varies with the student’s score on the mathematics component of the SAT. Develop an estimated multiple regression equation that includes critical reading and mathematics SAT scores and their interaction as independent variables. How much variation in freshman GPA is explained by this model? Test whether each of the regression parameters β0, β1, β2, and β3 is equal to zero at a 0.05 level of significance. What are the correct interpretations of the estimated regression parameters? Do these results support the conjecture made by the Ruggles College Director of Admissions? Do you prefer the estimated regression model developed in part (a) or part (c)? Explain. What other factors could be included in the model as independent variables?arrow_forwardThe ethical reflection assignment required you to watch three videos about Barry Minkow.
