In analyzing the effects of an after-school reading program, you run a regression analysis with program participation as the independent variable (0 = control group; 1 = intervention group) and scores on a reading comprehension exam after the program as the dependent variable. Is the effect of the after-school reading program statistically significant? How can you tell, and what does this mean?

In analyzing the effects of an after-school reading program, you run a regression analysis with program participation as the independent
variable (0 = control group; 1 = intervention group) and scores on a reading comprehension exam after the program as the dependent
variable. Using the Excel output below, answer the following questions:
1. Is the effecet of the after-school reading program statistically significant? How can you tell and what does this mean?
2. What does the slope coefficient tell you exactly? Interpret it in the context of the evaluation described above.
