Question

Questions 1-30 refer to the following scenario: A company reports bi-annual (twice a year) sales data. The sales data for the last three years is shown in below Table.

The intercept (a) of the regressions line (DV: Sales, IV: Obs) is equal to

A

D

1

 

The slope (b) of the regressions line (DV: Sales, IV: Obs) is equal to

a

The standard error of the regression is

a

5.34

b

3.54

c

4.35

d

2.51

 

The standard error of the intercept is

a

1.30

b

2.30

c

0.30

d

3.30

 

You want to test the hypothesis that the intercept is statistically significantly different from zero. To do so, you use the attached t-table. Your alpha (the risk you accept to make a Type I error) is a=0.1. How many degrees of freedom do you have?

a

n

b

n-2

c

4

d

both b. and c. are correct

 

You want to test the hypothesis that the intercept is statistically significantly different from zero. To do so, you use the attached t-table. Your alpha (the risk you accept to make a Type I error) is a=0.1. What is your t-statistic to conduct the hypothesis test?

a

t=0.71

b

t=0.81

c

t=0.91

d

t=1.01

 

The standard error of the slope is

a

0.95

b

1.15

c

1.05

d

0.85

 

You want to test the hypothesis that the slope coefficient is statistically significantly different from zero. To do so, you use the attached t-table. Your alpha (the risk you accept to make a Type I error) is a=0.1. What is your t-statistic to conduct the hypothesis test?

a

4.35

b

3.35

c

2.35

d

1.35

 

Which statement is true? Given your alpha of a=0.1, you

a

Reject the null for the intercept, and fail to reject the null for the slope

b

Reject the null for the slope, and fail to reject the null for the intercept 

c

Fail to reject the null for both the intercept and the slope

d

Reject the null for both the intercept and the slope

 

The explained sum of squares of the regression is ESS =
