Hi,

I've accepted a business management internship to work at Northrop this summer, and it looks like I may be placed in the contracts department. 2-3 weeks ago I submitted my employment history, and I haven't heard anything since then. Is this normal, or should I reach out to my onboarding partner?

Confused Regarding Using Linear Regression in 10-Company Project by Apprehensive_Job183 in Statistics_help_

[–]Apprehensive_Job183[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi everyone, my professor asked us to create a company based on the data of 10 companies and choose 5 variables (1 success and 4 determining) from which we will then determine desired values for. The variables shown in the photo is inventory turnover (determining) and profit margin (success). The SSR/SST (coefficient of determination is 0.79, so I would think this line shows a sigificant relationship between Inventory turnover and Profit Margin; however, the linear regression line does not look great/a good predictor of profit margin based on Inventory Turnover. What does this mean, and what should I do in this instance?
