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.
