Question

Observations are taken on sales of a certain mountain bike in 24 sporting goods stores. The regression model was Y = total sales (thousands of dollars), X1 = display floor space (square meters), X2 = competitors' advertising expenditures (thousands of dollars), X3 = advertised price (dollars per unit).
 
(a) Fill in the values in the table given here. (Negative values should be indicated by a minus sign. Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required. Round your t-values to 3 decimal places and p-values to 4 decimal places.)
 

Predictor Coefficient SE tcalc p-value
Intercept 1,272.5 361.9    
FloorSpace 11.590 1.06    
Competing Ads -6.697 3.938    
Price -0.14802 0.08391    
 

  
(b-1) What is the critical value of Student's t in Appendix D for a two-tailed test at α = .01? (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)

Expert Solution
Step 1

(a)

The tcalc formula is,

t=CoefficientSE

The t calculated values are,

Predictor Coefficient SE tcalc
Intercept 1272.5 361.9 1272.5361.9=3.516
FloorSpace 11.59 1.06 11.591.06=10.934
Competing Ads -6.697 3.938 -6.6973.938=-1.701
Price -0.14802 0.08391 -0.148020.08391=-1.764

The degrees of freedom is,

df=N-k-1=24-3-1=20

The degrees of freedom is 20.

For Intercept:

The hypothesis is two tailed. The probability of t not equal to 3.516 with 20 degrees of freedom can be obtained using the excel formula “=T.DIST.2T(3.516,20)”. The p-value is 0.0022.

For FloorSpace:

The hypothesis is two tailed. The probability of t not equal to 10.934 with 20 degrees of freedom can be obtained using the excel formula “=T.DIST.2T(10.934,20)”. The p-value is 0.0000.

For Competing Ads:

The hypothesis is two tailed. The probability of t not equal to -1.701 with 20 degrees of freedom can be obtained using the excel formula “=T.DIST.2T(1.701,20)”. The p-value is 0.1044.

For Price:

The hypothesis is two tailed. The probability of t not equal to -1.764 with 20 degrees of freedom can be obtained using the excel formula “=T.DIST.2T(1.764,20)”. The p-value is 0.0930.
