Essay

Student's Final Grade A statistics professor investigated some of the factors that affect an individual student's final grade in her course. She proposed the multiple regression model , where y   is the final grade (out of 100 points), x ₁ is the number of lectures skipped, x ₂ is the number of late assignments, and x ₃ is the midterm exam score (out of 100). The professor recorded the data for 50 randomly selected students. The computer output is shown below. THE REGRESSION EQUATION IS S = 13.74 R - Sq = 30.0%

{Student's Final Grade Narrative} Does this data provide enough evidence to conclude at the 5% significance level that the final grade and the number of skipped lectures are linearly related?
