Regression output.

What is the standard error of the slope in this output?

Question 2

No pattern in the residuals and roughly constant spread: a linear model is appropriate.

This residual plot supports which condition?

Question 3
-4-20242.6-2.6t
Two-sided p-value.

The two-sided p-value is closest to:

Question 4
The degrees of freedom for a t procedure for a slope with n = 20 are:

Question 5
A 95% interval for beta is (0.4, 1.2). Which is correct?

Question 6
In the LINER conditions, ‘E’ stands for:

Question 7
A researcher wants to test whether a linear relationship exists. The null hypothesis is:

Question 8
A two-sided P value of 0.08 from the output. For Ha: beta > 0 with a positive slope, the p-value is:

Question 9
The SE of the slope is 0.5 and b = 2. The t statistic for H0: beta = 0 is:

Question 10
A curved pattern in the residual plot means:

Remember

Remember
  • Parameter: true slope beta; statistic: sample slope b; df = n – 2.
  • Interval: b +/- t* SE_b; test: t = (b – 0)/SE_b for H0: beta = 0.
  • LINER: Linear, Independent, Normal residuals, Equal variance, Random.
  • Computer output gives b, SE_b, t, and the two-sided P in the row for the explanatory variable.
  • If the interval contains 0, there is no convincing evidence of a linear relationship.
