Multiple Choice

A multiple regression analysis showed the following ANOVA table result. Based on the information in the ANOVA, what is the decision regarding the global null hypothesis?

• A) The p-value 0.659 is quite large, so we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is no relationship between the dependent variable and the independent variables.
• B) The p-value 0.659 is quite large, so we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is a relationship between the dependent variable and the independent variables.
• C) The p-value, 0.659 is larger than the F value, so we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is no relationship between the dependent variable and the independent variables.
