An Elections Officer Wants to Model Voter Turnout (Y)in a Precinct

question 128

Multiple Choice

An elections officer wants to model voter turnout (y) in a precinct as a function of the type of precinct. Consider the model relating mean voter turnout, $E ( y )$ , to precinct type:


The $p$ -value for the test $H _ { 0 } : \beta _ { 1 } = \beta _ { 2 } = 0$ is .14. Interpret the result.

• A) Reject \(H _ { 0 }\) at \(\alpha = .10\); the model is useful for predicting voter turnout.
• B) Reject the model since it only explains \(14 \%\) of the variation.
• C) Do not reject \(H _ { 0 }\) at \(\alpha = .10\); there is no evidence of a difference between the mean voter turnouts for urban, suburban, and rural precincts.
• D) Reject \(H _ { 0 }\) at \(\alpha = .01\); there is evidence of a difference between the mean voter turnouts for urban, suburban, and rural precincts.
