The null hypothesis is that the influence of x₁ and x₂ on y is the same. The alternative hypothesis is that the influence of x₁ and x₂ on y is not the same. Since the p-value (0.0092) is less than the significance level (0.01), we reject the null hypothesis. Therefore, we can conclude that the influence of x₁ and x₂ on y is not the same.
