While Testing Hypotheses for Regression Coefficients, the T-Test for the Slope

question 15

Multiple Choice

While testing hypotheses for regression coefficients, the t-test for the slope is expressed as:

• A) \( t=\frac{b_{1}-0}{\text { standard error }} \)
• B) \( t=\frac{b_{1}-0}{b_{0}+b_{1}} \)
• C) \( t=\frac{b_{1}}{b_{0}-b_{1}} \)
• D) \( t=\frac{(\text { standard error })^{2}}{b_{0}-b_{1}} \)

Definitions:

Segregation

The process during meiosis where homologous chromosomes are separated into different gametes, ensuring genetic diversity.

Homologous

Refers to chromosomes with the same gene sequence, potentially differing in alleles, or structures/organs that have a similar position or function but not necessarily the same origin.

Loci

Specific positions or locations on a chromosome where a gene or genetic marker is found.

Tay-Sachs Disease

Autosomal recessive genetic disorder that results in a deficiency in the enzyme hexosaminidase A; causes an accumulation of glycolipids in the lysosomes, resulting in a progressive loss of psychomotor functions.
