TABLE 14-15
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 average of the percentage of students attending class (% Attendance), average 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, X₁= % Attendance, X₂= Salaries and X₃= Spending:
Note:

-Referring to Table 14-15, the alternative hypothesis H₁ : At least one of β_j ≠ 0 for j = 1, 2, 3 implies that percentage of students passing the proficiency test is related to at least one of the explanatory variables.
