Question

(a) Test the null hypothesis that there is no linear relationship between the pretest score and the score on the final exam against the two-sided alternative. (Round your test statistic to three decimal places and your P-value to four decimal places.)


Conclusion (choose the correct answer below)

We reject H0 at the 5% significance level.

We do not reject H0 at the 5% significance level.     


(b) Would you reject this null hypothesis versus the one-sided alternative that the slope is positive? Explain your answer.
P =  

Conclusion (choose the correct answer below)

We could reject H0 at the 5% significance level.

We could not reject H0 at the 5% significance level.

t = df = P =

Explanation / Answer

we know for a linear regression the test value is calculated from the below formulae

t = b1 / SE

a) The P-Value is .089135.

The result is not significant at p < .05

Do not reject Null hypothesis

b) The P-Value is .044567.


The result is significant at p < .05

Reject NUll hypotheses at alpha = 0.05
