question 50

True/False

TABLE 14-16
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:
$\begin{array}{lr}\hline\text {Regression Statistics } \\\hline \text {Multiple R }& 0.7930 \\\text {R Square} & 0.6288 \\\text {Adjusted R Square} & 0.6029 \\\text {Standard Error }& 10.4570 \\\text {Observations }& 47 \\\hline\end{array}$


ANOVA
$\begin{array}{lccccc}\hline &\text { d f } &\text { SS }& \text { MS }& \text { F } & \text { Significance F} \\\hline \text { Regression }& 3 & 7965.08 & 2655.03 & 24.2802 & 2.3853 \mathrm{E}-09 \\\text { Residual} & 43 & 4702.02 & 109.35 & & \\\text { Total }& 46 & 12667.11 & & & \\\hline\end{array}$

$\begin{array}{lrrrrrr}\hline &\text { Coeffs} & \text { Stnd Err} &\text { t Stat} &\text { p -value }&\text { Lower 95\%} \text { Upper 95\%} \\\hline\text { Intercept }& -753.4225 & 101.1149 & -7.4511 & 2.88 \mathrm{E}-09 & -957.3401 & -549.5050 \\\%\text { Attend }& 8.5014 & 1.0771 & 7.8929 & 6.73 \mathrm{E}-10 & 6.3292 & 10.6735 \\\text { Salary} & 6.85 \mathrm{E}-07 & 0.0006 & 0.0011 & 0.9991 & -0.0013 & 0.0013 \\\text { Spending }& 0.0060 & 0.0046 & 1.2879 & 0.2047 & -0.0034 & 0.0153 \\\hline\end{array}$

-Referring to Table 14-16, there is sufficient evidence that daily average of the percentage of students attending class has an effect on percentage of students passing the proficiency test while holding constant the effect of all the other independent variables at a 5% level of significance.
