Question
thumb_up100%
Stoaches are fictional creatures that nest in truffula forests.
A researcher wants to know whether there is a relationship between a stoach’s wingspan (?W, the predictor) and its nest height (?H, the response). A sample of 85 stoaches is observed, and for each, the wing-span (in cm) and the nest height (in m) are recorded.
The observed data meet the assumptions for a linear regression, so the researcher fits the regression model and obtains a regression equation
ℎ̂=−4.273+0.834?,h^=−4.273+0.834w,
with standard error for the coefficient of ?w equal to 0.242.
Determine the ?p-value from a test for a statistically significant linear dependence of nest height on wing-span. (Give your answer to 4 decimal places.

- Consider a linear regression model that relates school expenditures and family background to student performance in Massachusetts using 224 school districts. The response variable is the mean score on the MCAS (Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System) exam given in May 1998 to 10th-graders. Four explanatory variables are used: (1) STR is the student-to-teacher ratio, (2) TSAL is the average teacher’s salary, (3) INC is the median household income, and (4) SGL is the percentage of single family households. The Excel Regression output for the sample regression equation is given below. (a) What proportion of the variation in MCAS score is explained by the explanatory variables? (b) At the 5% level, are the explanatory variables jointly significant in explaining MCAS score? Explain briefly.
