3. A large, national grocery retailer tracks productivity and costs of its facilities closely. The
variables included are the number of cases shipped (X1), the indirect costs of the total
labor hours as a percentage (X2),a qualitative predictor called holiday that is coded 1 if
the week has a holiday and 0 otherwise (X3), and the total labor hours (Y). We were told
to analyze the relationship between the total labor hours and the number of cases
shipped, the indirect costs of the total labor hours, while controlling for whether the week
has a holiday, using an ordinary multiple regression model with interaction terms
between the number of cases shipped, the indirect costs of the total labor hours and the
qualitative predictor and with independent error terms. The partial data for a total 52
weeks from a single distribution center are shown as follows. Each data point for each
variable represents one week of activity.

a) Write down the first 3 rows of the design matrix (5 points);
b) Write down the estimated regression equations/models for the total labor hours in
week without a holiday (5 points);
c) Is the relationship between the total labor hours and the indirect costs of the total lab
hours depends on whether the weeks has a holiday, while controlling for number of cas
shipped. Conduct a hypothesis testing. Use a = .10 (10 points);
d) Is there a significant difference in the total labor hours between a week with a holi
and a week without a holiday when there is no cases shipped and no indirect c
Conduct a hypothesis testing. Use a = .05 (10 points).
