increase of $1 in advertising is associated with an increase of $7,000 in sales.
increase of $1 in advertising is associated with an increase of $62,000 in sales.
increase of $7 in advertising is associated with an increase of $7,000 in sales.
increase of $1 in advertising is associated with an increase of $7 in sales.
