As a sales manager for GooGooLi Corporation, you have asked your sales analytics team to provide you with a predictive model of the factors that can help you predict the sales for the next quarter. In the report, your sales analytics experts have developed a new regression model that can explain the variation in quarterly sales better than the previous model. You decide to verify this by comparing the results of the new model (that explains sales variation better) with the older model. You expect to see the for new model to be than the old model.

The new york times (nov. 30, 1993) reported that “the inability of opec to agree last week to cut production has sent the oil market into turmoil . . [leading to] the lowest price for domestic crude oil since june 1990.” why were the members of opec trying to agree to cut production? so they could save more oil for future consumption so they could lower the price so they could raise the price why do you suppose opec was unable to agree on cutting production? because each country has a different production capacity because each country experiences different production costs because each country has an incentive to cheat on any agreement the newspaper also noted opec’s view “that producing nations outside the organization, like norway and britain, should do their share and cut production.” what does the phrase “do their share” suggest about opec’s desired relationship with norway and britain? opec would like norway and britain to keep their production levels high. opec would like norway and britain to act competitively. opec would like norway and britain to join the cartel.
