Multiple Choice

Instruction 12-8
It is believed that average grade (based on a four -point scale) should have a positive linear relationship with university entrance exam scores.Given below is the Microsoft Excel output from regressing average grade on university entrance exam scores using a data set of eight randomly chosen students from a large university.
Regressing average grade on university entrance exam score
$\begin{array}{lr}\hline {\text { Regression Statistics }} \\\hline \text { Multiple R } & 0.7598 \\\text { R Square } & 0.5774 \\\hline \text { Adjusted R Square } & 0.5069 \\\hline \text { Standard Error } & 0.2691 \\\hline \text { Observations } & 8 \\\hline\end{array}$

-Referring to Instruction 12-8,what are the decision and conclusion on testing whether there is any linear relationship at 1% level of significance between average grade and university entrance exam scores?

• A)Do not reject the null hypothesis;hence there is not sufficient evidence to show that university entrance exam scores and average grade are linearly related.
• B)Reject the null hypothesis;hence there is not sufficient evidence to show that university entrance exam scores and average grade are linearly related.
• C)Reject the null hypothesis;hence there is sufficient evidence to show that university entrance exam scores and average grade are linearly related.
• D)Do not reject the null hypothesis;hence there is sufficient evidence to show that university entrance exam scores and average grade are linearly related.
