question 178

Short Answer

SCENARIO 13-10
The management of a chain electronic store would like to develop a model for predicting the weekly
sales (in thousand of dollars) for individual stores based on the number of customers who made
purchases. A random sample of 12 stores yields the following results: $$\begin{array} { | l | c | } \hline \text { Customers } & \text { Sales (Thousands of Dollars) } \\\hline 907 & 11.20 \\\hline 926 & 11.05 \\\hline 713 & 8.21 \\\hline 741 & 9.21 \\\hline 780 & 9.42 \\\hline 898 & 10.08 \\\hline 510 & 6.73 \\\hline 529 & 7.02 \\\hline 460 & 6.12 \\\hline 872 & 9.52 \\\hline 650 & 7.53 \\\hline 603 & 7.25 \\\hline\end{array}$$
-Referring to Scenario 13-10, which is the correct null hypothesis for testing whether the number of customers who make a purchase affects weekly sales? a) $H _ { 0 } : \beta _ { 0 } = 0$
b) $H _ { 0 } : \beta _ { 1 } = 0$
c) $H _ { 0 } : \mu = 0$
d) $H _ { 0 } : \pi = 0$
