Question

The following data was collected to explore how the average number of hours a student studies per night and the student's GPA affect their ACT score. The dependent variable is the ACT score, the first independent variable (x1)is the number of hours spent studying, and the second independent variable (x2) is the student's GPA

Step 1 of 2: Find the p-value for the regression equation that fits the given data. Round your answer to four decimal places.
Step 2 of 2: Determine if a statistically significant linear relationship exists between the independent and dependent variables at the 0.01 level of significance. If the relationship is statistically significant, identify the multiple regression equation that best fits the data, rounding the answers to three decimal places. Otherwise, indicate that there is not enough evidence to show that the relationship is statistically significant.

Answer 1

Answer:

Pvalue = 0.1505

y = 0.550x1 + 3.600x2 + 7.300

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data :

Study Hours GPA ACT Score

5 4 27

5 2 18

5 3 18

1 3 20

2 4 21

Using technology, the Pvalue obtained using the Fratio :

F = MSregression / MSresidual = 30.228571/ 8.190476 = 3.69

The Pvalue for the regression equation is:

Using the Pvalue from Fratio calculator :

F(1, 3), 3.69 = 0.1505

Using the Pvalue approach :

At α = 0.01

Pvalue > α ; Hence, we fail to reject H0 and conclude that ; There is not enough evidence to show that the relationship is statistically significant.

The regression equation :

y = A1x1 + A2x2 +... AnXn

y = 0.550x1 + 3.600x2 + 7.300

x1 and x2 are the predictor variables ;

y = predicted variable
