SCENARIO 13-13
in This Era of Tough Economic Conditions, Voters

SCENARIO 13-13
In this era of tough economic conditions, voters increasingly ask the question: "Is the educational
achievement level of students dependent on the amount of money the state in which they reside
spends on education?" The partial computer output below is the result of using spending per student
($) as the independent variable and composite score which is the sum of the math, science and
reading scores as the dependent variable on 35 states that participated in a study. The table includes
only partial results. $$\begin{array}{l}\begin{array} { l r } \hline { \text { Regression Statistics } } \\\hline \text { Multiple R } & 0.3122 \\\text { R Square } & 0.0975 \\\text { Adjusted R } & 0.0701 \\\text { Square } & \\\text { Standard } & 26.9122 \\\text { Error } & \\\text { Observations } & 35 \\\hline\end{array}\\\end{array}$$

$\text { ANOVA }$





-Referring to Scenario 13-13, the decision on the test of whether composite score depends
linearly on spending per student using a 10% level of significance is to ________ (reject or not
reject) $H _ { 0 }$ .
