Question

Now, we fit a linear regression model using R. The code and outputs are shown below:

reflux.ratio <- c(20,30,40,50,60)

concentration <- c(.446,.601,.786,.928,.950)

fit <- lm(formula = concentration ~ reflux.ratio) summary(fit)

confint(fit)

> summary(fit)

Call:

lm(formula = concentration ~ reflux.ratio)

Residuals:

o. Does the CI include zero? Can we conclude, based on the CI, that the assumed linear association between flux ratio and ethanol concentration is significant? Explain.

95% CI = ( 0.007816355, 0.01888364) does not contain zero

We can conclude that linear association between flux ratio and ethanol concentration is significant.

p. Now perform a formal hypothesis test about ?1; that is, H0: ?1 = 0 Ha: ?1 ? 0 (Note: you don
