Needed asap pl a construction crew wants to hoist a heavy beam so that it is standing up straight. they tie a rope to the beam, secure the base, and pull the rope through a pulley to raise one end of the beam from the ground. when the beam makes an angle of 40° with the ground, the top of the beam is 8 ft above the ground. the construction site has some telephone wires crossing it. the workers are concerned that the beam may hit the wires. when the beam makes an angle of 60° with the ground, the wires are 2 ft above the top of the beam. will the beam clear the wires on its way to standing up straight? explain.

1. the manager of collins import autos believes the number of cars sold in a day (q) depends on two factors: (1) the number of hours the dealership is open (h) and (2) the number of salespersons working that day (s). after collecting data for two months (53 days), the manager estimates the following log-linear model: q 4 equation 1 a. explain, how to transform the log-linear model into linear form that can be estimated using multiple regression analysis. the computer output for the multiple regression analysis is shown below: q4 table b. how do you interpret coefficients b and c? if the dealership increases the number of salespersons by 20%, what will be the percentage increase in daily sales? c. test the overall model for statistical significance at the 5% significance level. d. what percent of the total variation in daily auto sales is explained by this equation? what could you suggest to increase this percentage? e. test the intercept for statistical significance at the 5% level of significance. if h and s both equal 0, are sales expected to be 0? explain why or why not? f. test the estimated coefficient b for statistical significance. if the dealership decreases its hours of operation by 10%, what is the expected impact on daily sales?
