Course grades in BUSI 614 use Liberty's point scale: an A is 940 to 1010 points of the course total. Missing the length or source minimum usually costs points on several rows at once, which is why the checklist below starts with them.

Timing in the published guide: Module/Week one begins on Monday and ends at 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Friday. Modules/Weeks 2-8 begin on Saturday and end at 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Friday. Check the due dates in your Canvas section, which govern.

Check the residual plot for patterns before reporting.

The BUSI 614 Week 5 method, step by step

  1. Set up the data before the write-up

    Do the calculations first and check them. Interpretation built on a wrong figure loses more points than a missing paragraph.

  2. Show the method

    Name the method and the reason it fits. One or two sentences are enough, but they must be there.

  3. Report the results plainly

    Report each result with its value and what it measures. Tables and figures help when they are labeled and referred to in the text.

  4. Interpret in the context of the question

    Translate the numbers into a conclusion about the question. Say what decision they support and how confident you can be.

  5. Name the limits

    Name the assumptions and limits. A result with its limits stated reads as professional.

  6. Submit the files the guide asks for

    Submit every file requested and check that formulas, output and the write-up agree (Not set in the guide; follow the assignment).

Use Analyze, Regression, Linear. Report R-squared, the overall F test and each coefficient with its significance, then explain the result in marketing terms.

BUSI 614 Week 5, sample results paragraph

Advertising spend and price together explained 46% of the variation in weekly sales (R-squared = .46, F(2, 49) = 20.9, p < .001). Each additional $1,000 of advertising was associated with about $2,400 more in sales (p < .01), while each $1 price increase was associated with about $1,800 less (p < .05). Both effects are meaningful for planning promotions.
