Explain the relationship between statistics and regression analysis. Suppose you have the following two equations: Cost function: C(Q) = Q^3 – 8Q^2 + 57Q + 2 Revenue function: R(Q) = 45Q – 0.5Q^2 Profit Function: π = R(Q) - C(Q) Find the Q (or quantity of units produced) which maximizes profit.

Regression analysis is a statistical tool used for the examination of relationships between variables. Linear regression analysis is used to estimate the strength and direction of the relationship between two linearly related variables. Explain the differences between the regression model, the regression equation, and the estimated regression equation. Discuss the application of regression analysis in business decision making. Give examples of how regression analysis can be used in business.
