Cindy Lawson just bought a major league baseball team. She has been receiving a lot of advice about what she should do to create a winning ball club. Cindy asks you to study this problem and write a report. You decide to use multiple regression analysis to determine which statistics are important in developing a winning team (measured by the number of games won during the 1991 season). You gather data for six statistics from the Sporting News 1992 Baseball Yearbook, as shown in Table P-16, and run a stepwise regression program, assuming a multiple regression model with "Wins" as the dependent variable.
a. Discuss the importance of each independent variable.
b. What equation should Cindy use to forecast wins? |
