You run bivariate regression analysis and you find that the ANOVA results indicate that you have Sig. value for your F of .05. Now, looking under your Coefficients output, you have an intercept value and a slope value. You should use these values only when:
A) they are both significant, i.e., have Sig. values above 1.00
B) they are both significant, i.e., have Sig. values below 1.00
C) they are both significant, i.e., have Sig. values equal to or below .05
D) when at least one is significant, i.e., has a Sig. value above .80.
E) None of the above; because the F value in the ANOVA was not significant, you should not have even looked at the Coefficients output.

If the ANOVA results indicate a significant F-value at the alpha level of .05, then we reject the null hypothesis that the slope of the regression line is zero, which means that there is a linear relationship between the two variables. In this case, we look at the Coefficients output for further information. The intercept and slope values are considered significant when their Sig. values are equal to or below .05, which is the same level of significance as the F-value in the ANOVA. Therefore, the correct answer is C.
