Is the Location variable
- a nominal, an ordinal, an interval or a ratio variable? How can
we code it so that we can use it in analysis (hint: binary)?
Which of the variables are determining Sales based on the above data? Take p < 0.05 for
interpreting your multiple regression. You can use output from Ms-Excel or other software,
but you are required to interpret it.
Is your regression model statistically significant? How is Adjusted R2 different from R2?
Suppose, you want to open a new restaurant. Given that this new restaurant of 1000 square
feet will be located in a busy location and will have 40 items in its menu - what would be
the predicted sales? (10 Marks)
Question 2.
Based on the data in question 1 above, suppose that in order to plan the area (square feet) of
your new restaurant, you want to consider information about the area (square feet) of
existing restaurants. What is more appropriate in this case – mean, median or mode?
Calculate them and explain.
What do you know about the symmetry of the distribution of the Number of Items in Menu?
As an investor you do not want much variability in Sales. Calculate standard deviation and
inter-quartile-range of Sales and comment when they are useful as measures. What values
(maximum, minimum) of Sales lie within two standard deviations, assuming normal
distribution? (10 Marks)
Question 3
Suppose you are a consultant hired to help NMIMS in understanding student perception of
quality of study materials and student assessment process at NMIMS.
a. What are the types of random sample survey, in general? What sampling method
would you recommend in this case for your study and why? (5 Marks)
b. Consider the scores from a multiple-choice test from a question bank (random),

TQM in order to succeed. While the hard elements are related to quality tools and
techniques for continuous improvement, the soft side is associated with management
concepts and principles such as team work, leadership, customer focus and culture
(Fotopoulos and Psomas, 2009). In their study about quality management tools and
techniques, Tarà and Sabater (2004) analyzed about 30 commonly used tools and
techniques such as benchmarking, brainstorming, design of experiments (DOE), failure
mode and effect analysis (FMEA), flow charts, poka yoke, quality function deployment
(QFD), quality improvement teams and statistical process control (SPC). Soft elements
indirectly affect performance, because they create an environment that facilitates the
implementation of hard elements (Rahman and Bullock, 2005).

2. Collaborative Planning, Forecasting and Replenishment (CPFR) is a technological
innovation tool that was first registered as a trademark by the Voluntary Interindustry
Commerce Standards (VICS) Association (1998) and is defined as a web-based
approach which can coordinate the diverse process of supply chain management
including production and purchasing planning, demand forecasting. It is a collection
of new business practices that leverage the internet and EDI in order to achieve two
goals: radically reduce inventories and expenses while improving customer service.
Give an example of a pharmaceutical company where the different phases of CPFR

3. Over the past several decades, logistics activities have increasingly been sourced out
to specialized third-party logistics providers (3PLs). In recent years, however, 3PLs
have increasingly been challenged by new disruptive business models and digital
technologies. For example, platforms such as Cargomatic and Uber Freight enable
cost-efficient, real-time, on-demand arrangements of transports that cut into the
domain of logistics services. E-commerce providers such as Amazon, which used to
be a business partner to 3PLs, has started building up its own online-based logistics
solutions. Similarly, vehicle manufacturers have started to leave their traditional
business field and provide their own digitalized fleet management and mobility
services, which used to be domains of 3PLs as well. As pointed out in a study by the
consultancy company Oliver Wymann, logistics start-ups from the USA and Asia
with high financing volumes are transforming the entire logistics industry. This puts
significant pressure on traditional logistics markets such as Germany, Sweden and
the Netherlands, with their established market players. Experience from other
industries such as travel and retail shows that digital disruptions may change entire
markets within a very short time. In the course of these changes, business models
that have been dominant for decades are replaced by new ones. (Source: Hofmann,
