Question

Below is a sample output you might see from STATA statistical software for a simple linear regression of mortality versus smoking rates.  Does an increase in the smoking rate significantly increase the mortality rate according to these results?

a. Yes since the coefficient is 1.08 (i.e., greater than 0) and the p- value is 0.000

b.  No since the estimate of the constant is 2.88 and is not significant.

c. Yes, since R-squared = 0.5130

d. No, an increase in the smoking rate was associated with a decreased in the mortality rate in this study.

Expert Solution
Step 1

The output is provided for a simple linear regression of mortality versus smoking rates. To test the null hypothesis: Whether an increase in the smoking rate significantly increase the mortality rate.

The p-value is mentioned as 0.001 and 95% confidence interval is used, that is, the level of significance is 5% or 0.05.
