Description

The purpose of this assignment is to conduct analyses and present your findings and supporting documentation in a professional PowerPoint presentation designed to summarize the information for senior leadership within the organization. Assume that you are delivering this presentation to the senior leadership in an organization. Begin by reading the "13.2 Forecasting Overhead at Wagner Printers" case at the end of Chapter 13 in the textbook. For the case, you will perform a multiple regression analysis. You can perform additional analyses on each data set to gain greater insight into the data set. You must be able to justify each of the approaches and methods you selected for analyzing the data sets. Use the Palisade DecisionTools Excel software to perform the regression analysis. Evaluate the regression model by performing and responding to all parts of the "Multiple Regression Analysis Checklist."

Use the "Predictive Analytics Case Data Template" to complete the assignment and submit answers. Prior to submission, rename the file to include your first name and last name in the filename.

You will submit the completed template file along with the PowerPoint presentation.

Results of each analysis must be included in your presentation. The use of graphs, charts and supporting data, and spreadsheets is encouraged. Interpret the results of each analysis and draw general conclusions from the results.
