We use GSS2008 data to see if age affects number of times one visited a public library in the past year. We find, with a sample size of 1489, that the value of the slope is -.072 and the value of the standard error is .038. From this, what can you conclude?
A) The slope is significant at the p<.001 level
B) The slope is significant at the p<.01 level
C) The slope is significant at the p<.05 level
D) The slope is not statistically significant.
