TABLE 17-8
The superintendent of a school district wanted to predict the percentage of students passing a sixth-grade proficiency test.She obtained the data on percentage of students passing the proficiency test (% Passing),daily mean of the percentage of students attending class (% Attendance),mean teacher salary in dollars (Salaries),and instructional spending per pupil in dollars (Spending)of 47 schools in the state.
Following is the multiple regression output with Y = % Passing as the dependent variable,X 1 = % Attendance,X 2 = Salaries and X 3 = Spending:
-True or False: Referring to Table 17-8,the null hypothesis should be rejected at a 5% level of significance when testing whether there is a significant relationship between the percentage of students passing the proficiency test and the entire set of explanatory variables.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The table shows that the p-value for the F-test is less than 0.05, which means that at a 5% level of significance, the null hypothesis (there is no significant relationship between the percentage of students passing the proficiency test and the explanatory variables) should be rejected. Therefore, the alternative hypothesis is accepted, indicating that there is a significant relationship between the percentage of students passing the proficiency test and the set of explanatory variables.
