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.)

t=?

df=?

P=?

Conclusion (Which one is true?)

a. We reject H0 at the 5% significance level.

b. 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 (Which one is true?)

a. We could reject H0 at the 5% significance level.

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

Explanation / Answer

here b1=0.76

and std error =0.41

for degree of freedom =n-2 =82-2=80

hence test stat t=b1/Sb1 =0.76/0.41=1.8537

df =80

p value =0.0675

as p value is higher then 0.05 level

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

for one sided test

p value =0.0337

  a. We could reject H0 at the 5% significance level.
