question 18

Multiple Choice

A researcher's results are shown below using Femlab (labor force participation rate among females) to try to predict Cancer (death rate per 100,000 population due to cancer) in the 50 U.S. states. $$\begin{array} { l r } \hline { \text { Regression Statistics } } \\\hline \text { Multiple R } & 0.313422848 \\\text { R Square } & 0.098233882 \\\text { Adjusted R Square } & 0.079447088 \\\text { Standard Error } & 32.07003698 \\\text { Observations } & 50 \\\hline\end{array}$$ $$\begin{array} { l c r r } \hline \text { Variable } & \text { Coefficients } & \text { Standard Error } & { t \text { Stat } } \\\hline \text { Intercept } & 343.619889 & 61.0823514 & 5.62552 \\\text { Femlab } & - 2.2833659 & 0.99855319 & - 2.28667 \\\hline\end{array}$$ Which statement is valid regarding the relationship between Femlab and Cancer?

• A)A rise in female labor participation rate will cause the cancer rate to decrease within a state.
• B)This model explains about 10 percent of the variation in state cancer rates.
• C)At the .05 level of significance, there isn't enough evidence to say the two variables are related.
