Question

Assume the simple regression model holds. If the 95% confidence interval for the slope in an estimated simple regression is the interval (10, 22), then _________.

a. the true (population) slope is not zero

b. the F statistic of the fitted regression model is less than 4.

c. the p-value of the estimated slope is more than 0.05.

d. the t statistic for the estimated slope is approximately 2.

Solution

The correct answer is:

a. the true (population) slope is not zero

Here's why:

A 95% confidence interval for the slope of a regression line gives us a range of values for the slope that we are 95% confident contains the true (population) slope. If this interval does not contain zero, it means we are 95% confident that the true slope is not zero. In this case, the interval is (10, 22), which does not contain zero. Therefore, we can be 95% confident that the true slope is not zero.

Options b, c, and d are not necessarily correct based on the information given. The F statistic, p-value, and t statistic all depend on more information than just the confidence interval for the slope.

The overall regression F-statistic tests the null hypothesis that: a. all slope coefficients and the intercept are zero. b. all slope coefficients are zero. c. the slope coefficient of the variable of interest is zero, but that the other slope coefficients are not. d. the intercept in the regression and at least one, but not all, of the slope coefficients is zero.

A UQ master student collected data on annual wages (Y, in $'000) and years of study (X) from a random sample of 10 part-time workers to test this proposition. Assuming a linear relationship between Y and X, the student used a least-squares method and found that the Y intercept = -21.50 and the slope = 9.73. The student also found that the standard error of the slope was 1.61. Based on this information, what is the value of the t test statistic if you are testing the null hypothesis that there is no linear relationship between the two variables, X and Y? Round your final answer to three decimal places.

In developing a confidence interval estimate for a simple regression model, the critical value of t statistic is _______. a. tn-k-2 degrees of freedom b. tn-1 degrees of freedom c. tn-2 degrees of freedom d. tk degrees of freedom

A consumer's spending is widely believed to be a function of their income. To estimate this relationship, a university professor randomly selected 19 of his students and collected information on their spending (Y, in dollars) and income (X, in dollars) patterns in week 6 of the semester. Assuming a linear relationship between Y and X, the professor used the least-squares method and found that the Y intercept = 20.90 and the slope = 0.66. The professor also found that the standard error of the slope was 0.08. Based on this information, what is the value of the t test statistic if you are testing the null hypothesis that there is no linear relationship between the two variables, X and Y? Round your final answer to two decimal places.
