The Regression Printout Below Shows the Results of a Regression

question 40

Multiple Choice

The regression printout below shows the results of a regression analysis intended to link variable x to variable y.A sample of 15 data points was used. Can you use the sample results shown here to reject a β = 0 null hypothesis at the 5% significance level? Explain.

• A)Yes, since the upper bound on the 95% interval estimate of β is greater than 0, we can reject the β = 0 null hypothesis.
• B)Yes, since the p-value for the coefficient of x is greater than the significance level of .05, we can reject the β = 0 null hypothesis.
• C)No, since the p-value for the coefficient of the x variable is greater than .05, we can't reject the β = 0 null hypothesis.
• D)No, since t_stat for the x variable is outside ±2.160, we can't reject the β = 0 null hypothesis.
