– Management proposed the following regression model to predict sales at a fast-food outlet. The following estimated regression equation was developed after 20 outlets were surveyed.= 10.4 – 4.4×1 + 6.4×2 + 15.2×3 a. What is the expected amount of sales attributable to the drive-up window? $ ____________ in thousands b. Predict sales for a store with two competitors, a population of 9,000 within one mile, and no drive-up window. Estimate of sales = $ _________in thousands c.
