Problem

You are the owner of a small movie theater. Since you only have one screen, you need to decide which movie to show. You decide to run a regression analysis that seeks to explain daily ticket sales (in dollars) using the movie’s budget (in millions) and length (in minutes).

With your results, you want to predict the daily ticket sales for the following movies:

Inferno of Impact: has a budget of 98 million dollars and is 110 minutes long.

Triple Payback: has a budget of 65 million dollars and is 123 minutes long.

NOTE: for this project, it is okay if you extrapolate your prediction (i.e. predict outside of the relevant range of your data).

Your goal is to write a summary of the problem and your results, using the data provided. You want to:

  • write an introduction: describe the problem, your methodology, and the data you will use.
  • present descriptive statistics: report the minimum, maximum, average, and standard deviation for all variables.Include at least one scatterplot that shows the relationship between the dependent variable and an independent variable.
  • write down a regression model: identify your dependent and independent variable(s) and write down the regression equation you are going to estimate.
  • describe the results: you want to report:
    • the overall F-statistic and what it implies
    • the estimated coefficients
    • the interpretation of coefficients
    • statistical tests of the coefficients- i.e., formulate a null and alternative hypothesis for whether a coefficient is statistically significant, and then report the results.
    • the predicted ticket sales for both movies
  • write a conclusion: summarize what you did, and which movie you chose to show

Problem Description
In the movies industry, a rational decision making is necessary for the prioritization of the
products to sale. Forecasting is an essential tool in such a situation. Generally, a forecast is a
prediction about future data values. Most projecting models estimates assume that the past is
a substitution for the future. There are numerous conventional methods for prediction: time
series, exponential smoothing, regression, and composite model forecasts. The regression
analysis is statistical performances to analyze measurable data to estimate model
considerations/ factors and make projections.
The regression analysis investigates the relationship between X variable on the horizontal axis
and Y variable on the vertical axis. In many situations, X is also referred to as independent or
explanatory variable and sometimes manipulated variable. On the other hand, the Y variable is
the dependent variable.
In this situation, an owner of the small movie theate...
