Explanation / Answer

Hypothesis Test for slope of regression line will be a two-tailed test.

Now, it is given that total degrees of freedom, df = 29

Thus, critical t-value we would use to construct a 95% confidence interval for the slope of the regression line (Using distribution chart of t-statistic) = 2.048

Thus, answer is E
