Refer to case 3
At a = 0.05, test to determine if the equation developed represents a significant relationship between the independent variables and the dependent variable.
The test statistics is
Question 15 options:F | |
t | |
We can use F or t | |
None of these alternatives is correct. |
Refer to test 3
At a = 0.05, test to determine if the fitted equation developed in Part a represents a significant relationship between the independent variables and the dependent variable.
to find p-value we should use excel function
Question 16 options:p-value is FDIST (F,df1,df2) | |
p-value is FDIST (t,df1,2) | |
p-value is FDIST (t,df2,2) | |
None of these alternatives is correct |
Refer to case 3. At a = 0.05, test to determine if the fitted equation developed in Part a represents a significant relationship between the independent variables and the dependent variable.
Conclusion is
Question 17 options:F = 80.12; p-value > .01; Don't reject H0 The model is not significant at alpha 0.05 | |
F = 8.12 | |
F = 80.12; p-value < .01 (almost zero); reject H0 and conclude that te model is significant at alpha 0.05 | |
None of these alternatives is correct. |
Refer to case 3
At 95% confidence, test to see if price is a significant variable.
Use test statistics
Question 18 options:F | |
t | |

None of these alternatives is correct. |
Refer to case 3. At 95% confidence, test to see if price is a significant variable.
Conclusion is
Question 19 options:t = 0.008; p-value less than alpha . Reject H0; price is a significant variable at alpha 0.05 | |
t = 1.078; p-value is between 0.1 and 0.2; do not reject H0; price is not a significant variable at 95% confidence. | |
t = 1.078; p-value is less than 0.1 ; reject H0 price is a significant variable at 95% confidance | |
None of these alternatives is correct. |
