Question

The manager of the purchasing department of a large saving and loan organization would like to develop a model to predict the amount of time (measured in hours) it takes to record a loan application. Data are collected from a sample of 30 days, and the number of applications recorded and completion time in hours is recorded. Below is the regression output:

Q1) The value of the measured t test statistic to test whether the amount of time depends linearly on the number of loan applications recorded is
A) 0.8924

B) 232.2200

C) 3.2559

D) 15.2388
Q2) The degrees of freedom for the F test on whether the number of load applications recorded affects the amount of time are
A) 29, 1

B)1, 29

C) 28, 1

D) 1, 28

Explanation / Answer

Ans - 1: From the 3rd table,

The measured t test statistic to test whether the amount of time depends linearly on the number of loan applications recorded is 15.2388

Option D is correct.

Ans - 2: From ANOVA table,

Degrees of freedom for the F test on whether the number of load applications recorded affects the amount of time are 1, 28.

Option D is correct.
