Question

Write the formula for each t statistic and verify the t statistics shown below. (Round your answer to 3 decimal places. Negative values should be indicated by a minus sign.)

(c)

State the degrees of freedom for the t tests and find the two-tail critical value for t by using Appendix D. (Round t.025 value to 3 decimal places.)

Use Excel's function =T.DIST.2T(t, d.f.) to verify the p-value shown for each t statistic (slope, intercept). (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)

The percentage of variation in units sold that can be explained by average price is  %. (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)

Below is a regression using X = average price, Y = units sold, n = 20 stores.

Explanation / Answer

a) Yhat= -109.112X+ 614.930

b) t statistic of slope= beta1/std.error of x = -109.112/51.3623= -2.124(verified)

t statistic of intercept= beta0/std error of intercept= 614.930/51.234= 12.002 (verified)

c) Degrees of freeedom of t = (n-2)= (20-2)=18

critical value of t (0.25) with d.f= 18 is 2.100

d) p value for intercept is < .00001. The result is significant at p < .05.

p value for slope is .04778.The result is significant at p < .05.

e1) t2 for slope = beta1/ Std error of x =-109.112/51.363= -2.124

p value of t (-2.124)=0.048

F = 4.51

p value for F is 0.048

Since p value of F= pvalue of t(slope)

This implies F=t2

e2) R^2= 1- SSE/SST= 1-12288.31/15369.20

R^2= 1-0.799= 0.20045

e3) The percentage of variation in units sold that can be explained by average price is 20.045%

f) This model has poor fit as R^2 is very small.
