A researcher analyzes the factors that may influence amusement park attendance. She estimates the following model: Attendance = β₀ + β₁Price + β₂Temperature + β₃Rides + ε, where Attendance is the daily attendance (in 1,000s), Price is the gate price (in $), Temperature is the average daily temperature (in °F), and Rides is the number of rides at the amusement park. A portion of the regression results is shown in the accompanying table. When testing whether Temperature is significant at the 5% significance level, she ________. A) rejects H₀: β₂ = 0, and concludes that Temperature is significant B) does not reject H₀: β₂ = 0, and concludes that Temperature is significant C) rejects H₀: β₂ = 0, and cannot conclude that Temperature is significant D) does not reject H₀: β₂ = 0, and cannot conclude that Temperature is significant
