Question

The yield of a certain chemical reaction is believed to be related to temperature. A study collected the yield from 15 such reactions selected at random to test the belief and producedthe following results.
Variable Estimate
Intercept 1 15.5 2.96
Temp 1 0.05 0.017
R-sq = 0.73
Which of the following is the appropriate test statistic for the test?
a. t=0.05/0.73
b. t=15.5/0.73
c. t=0.05/15.5
d. t=15.5/0.05

Answer 1

Answer:

t = 0.05 / 0.017

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the table :

Variable ____ Estimate

Intercept 1 ____ 15.5 ____2.96

Temp 1 _______0.05 ___ 0.017

R-sq = 0.73

The test statistic for a regression test :

t = b1 / E

Where ;

b1 = slope ; E = Standard error of the slope

From the result table ;

b1 = 0.05 ;

E = 0.017

The test statistic, t = 0.05 / 0.017
