A general principle that credits card companies often follow is to assign a higher credit limit to
people with a higher credit rating. Does the data show that this principle is being followed?

Interpretations: The correlation between credit limit and credit rating is very high 0.99. Thus, this is
evident enough to confirm that general principal of credit companies assigning higher credit limit to
a person having higher credit rating is followed.
Q8. Run a simple linear regression of balance on the credit limit. (Here credit limit is the X and the
balance is the Y). Report the coefficients and the R-squared. Show a scatter plot

Interpretations:

Interpretations:

1) R square - 74% of variability on balances are linked to the credit limit

2) P-value: Based on the above p- value the hypothesis is rejected and credit limit plays a significant
factor in balances.

3) Coefficients: Based on the above table, there will be 0.171 units of balance increased per credit
rating.

Q.10 Consider your findings in questions 8-9. Discuss business mechanisms to increase or decrease
the balance on credit cards. Try to quantify your answers.

a) Based on the findings noted from question 8, There is 0.171 unit increase in the people is
balances, when the credit limit is increased. Thus in order to increase or decrease the balances,
change in credit limit play an important role, as the p-value is less than 0.05
b) Based on the findings noted from question 9, there is a 2.5 units increase in balance when the
people rating goes up. Thus credit rating is a significant factor in increase or decrease of balances in
credit card, this is evident as the p-value is less than 0.05
