The following summary is from home heating costs, using mean outside temperature as X1 the
Number of centimetres of insulation as X2, and the presence of a garage as X3.
Is the presence of the independent variable garage signiﬁcant in predicting heating costs, when
Tested at the 0.01 level of signiﬁcance?
A) Since the p-value is less than the level of signiﬁcance, the null hypothesis is rejected, and so the garage should be included in the analysis.
B) Since the p-value is less than the level of signiﬁcance, the null hypothesis is accepted, and so the garage should not be included in the analysis.
C) Since the p-value is more than the level of signiﬁcance, the null hypothesis is accepted, and so the garage should not be included in the analysis.
D) Since the p-value is more than the level of signiﬁcance, the null hypothesis is rejected, and so the garage should be included in the analysis.
