a) State the standard null and alternative hypotheses for the true coefficient of Graduation Rate.
A. H0: βGradRate≠0
HA:βGradRate=0
B.H0: βGradRate=0
HA: bβGradRate≠0
C.H0: βGradRate=0
HA: βGradRate<0
D.H0: βGradRate=0
HA: βGradRate>0
b) What is the t-statistic corresponding to this test?
The t-statistic is (__________) (Type an integer or a decimal.)
c) Why is the t-statistic negative?
A. The t-statistic is negative because R squared (adjusted) is less than 50%.
B.The t-statistic is negative because the coefficient has the smallest standard error.
C. The t-statistic is negative because the coefficient is negative.
D.The t-statistic is negative because R squared is less than 50%.
d) What is the P-value corresponding to this t-statistic?
A.−0.642
B.9.43
C.0.0313
D. <0.0001
e) Test the null hypothesis (at α=0.05) and state your conclusion.
A.Reject H0. There is insufficient evidence that the coefficient is different from 0.
B.Fail to reject H0. There is insufficient evidence that the coefficient is different from 0.
C.Reject H0.There is sufficient evidence that the coefficient is different from 0.
D.Fail to reject H0.There is sufficient evidence that the coefficient is different from 0.
a) State the standard null and alternative hypotheses for the true coefficient of Graduation Rate.
Ans:
B.
H0 : βGradRate=0
HA : βGradRate≠0
b) What is the t-statistic corresponding to this test?
Ans: The t-statistic is -5.88 (a decimal.)
c) Why is the t-statistic negative?
Ans: C. The t-statistic is negative because the coefficient is negative.
d) What is the P-value corresponding to this t-statistic?
Ans: D. <0.0001
e) Test the null hypothesis (at α= 0.05) and state your conclusion.
Ans:
C. Reject H0. There is sufficient evidence that the coefficient is different from 0.

Assume that a simple random sample has been selected from a normally distributed population and test the given claim. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses, test statistic, P- and state the final conclusion that addresses the original claim. A coin mint has a specification that a particular coin has deviation of 0.01741 g. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that this sample is from a population with a mean weight equal to 2.5 g. Do the coins...
