TABLE 14-15
The superintendent of a school district wanted to predict the percentage of students passing a sixth-grade proficiency test. She obtained the data on percentage of students passing the proficiency test (% Passing), daily average of the percentage of students attending class (% Attendance), average teacher salary in dollars (Salaries), and instructional spending per pupil in dollars (Spending) of 47 schools in the state.
Following is the multiple regression output with Y = % Passing as the dependent variable, X₁= % Attendance, X₂= Salaries and X₃= Spending:
Note:

-Referring to Table 14-15, we can conclude that average teacher salary has no impact on the mean percentage of students passing the proficiency test at a 10% level of significance based solely on the 95% confidence interval estimate for β₂.
