Question
When determining which is significant for part a -make sure to include df, p value (greater than or less than .05), and t statistic

Transcribed Image Text:2. Researchers wanted to study physical activity in children, so they gave 74 randomly
chosen children a "FitBit" to record how many steps they took each day. Additionally,
the scientists recorded each child's Body Mass Index (BMI) and grade in school. Grade
was coded as middle or high school. The results of their analysis are below:

Grade_middle
Estimate

1,302.4
SE
316.1
54.9
588.3
a. Calculate the test statistics for each predictor in the model and determine which
are significant (you don't have to write full conclusion for each as long as you
indicate which are significant). Given: critical value = 1.99
b. Interpret the estimate of Grade_middle in context.
c. Suppose a middle-school student with a BMI of 20 took 6,000 steps in a day.
Calculate this student's residual.
