Abigail Faith is the CEO of AFB Company, a purveyor of computer-aided design software. Abigail has instructed her distributor that her software should be licensed to industrial customers at annual fees, F,  which should depend principally on two  factors - the number of designers, D, and the number of work stations, W, at each company, according to the following relation:

F = X DY WZ, where X = 1000, Y = .55, and Z = .15

While Abigail allows her distributors some latitude in pricing in order to "get the sale," she's concerned that her instructions may not have been taken seriously. Based on the following data (random sample of 50 clients), the question is whether there is evidence that Abigail's guidelines are not being observed.

(The data can be copied and pasted into Excel or SPSS)

The first thing one needs to do is to take the logarithm of both sides (either log base 10 ["log"] or log base e ["ln" - called "natural log"]). This will result in a linear (multiple regression) model, with variables (logF, logD, logW) or (LnF, LnD, LnW). All hypothesis tests should use α = .05.

a) Test whether there is evidence that Abigail's distributors are violating her edict that X = 1000.

b) Test whether there is evidence that Abigail's distributors are violating her edict that Y = .55.

c) Test whether there is evidence that Abigail's distributors are violating her edict that Z = .15.
    
d) What is your summary conclusion after the 3 above analyses?

e) Test (jointly) whether there is evidence that Abigail's distributors are violating her edict.
