1. Calculate the correla’on between dependent and independent variables. Test whether the independent
variable (X) is a signi0cant explanatory variable of the dependent variable (Y). ( 5 pts)
Ho: Sales and the nearest compe’tor are correlated
H1: Sales and the nearest compe’tor are not correlated
SAS output:

Decision and conclusion
P-value (0.2159) > alpha (0.05). Therefore, do not reject Ho. Sales and the nearest compe’tor are correlated.
R = 0.25645. Therefore, there is a weak but posi’ve correla’on between sales and nearest compe’tor.
2. Generate the es’mated simple linear regression model. Test whether the parameter is signiticant. ( 8
