question 26

Multiple Choice

Excel and Minitab both provide the p-value for testing each coefficient in the multiple regression model. In the case of $b _ { 2 }$ , this represents the probability that:

• A) \(\left| b _ { 2 } \right|\) could be this large if Ho: \(\beta _ { 2 } \neq 0\) is really true.
• B) \(\left| b _ { 2 } \right|\) could be this large if Ho: \(\beta _ { 2 } = 0\) is really false.
• C) \(\left| b _ { 2 } \right|\) could be this large if Ho: \(\beta _ { 2 } \neq 0\) is really true
• D) \(\left| b _ { 2 } \right|\) could be this large if Ho: \(\beta _ { 2 } = 0\) is really true..
