## Constructing a 95% Confidence Interval for the Regression Coefficient

### Task:
b. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the regression coefficient for \( x_2 \) and interpret its meaning.

### Information Provided:
The 95% confidence interval for the true population coefficient \( \beta_2 \) is \[ \_\_\_ \] to \[ \_\_\_ \].

*Note:* Round to three decimal places as needed.

### Interpretation:
Interpret the meaning of this confidence interval. Choose the correct answer below:

- **A.** Since the confidence interval includes zero, there is sufficient evidence that \( \beta_2 \) is not zero, which indicates that there is a relationship between \( x_2 \) and \( y \).

- **B.** Since the confidence interval does not include zero, there is insufficient evidence that \( \beta_2 \) is not zero, which indicates that there is not a relationship between \( x_2 \) and \( y \).

- **C.** Since the confidence interval includes zero, there is insufficient evidence that \( \beta_2 \) is not zero, which indicates that there may not be a relationship between \( x_2 \) and \( y \).

- **D.** Since the confidence interval does not include zero, there is sufficient evidence that \( \beta_2 \) is not zero, which indicates that there may be a relationship between \( x_2 \) and \( y \).

### Understanding Confidence Intervals for Regression Coefficients

#### Task:
Construct a 95% confidence interval for the regression coefficient for \( x_1 \) and interpret its meaning.

#### Solution:
1. **Calculate the Confidence Interval**:
   The 95% confidence interval for the true population coefficient \( \beta_1 \) is from \([ \, \_\_ \, \text{ to } \, \_\_ \, ]\). (Round to three decimal places as needed.)

2. **Interpret the Confidence Interval**:
   Choose the correct interpretation from the options below:

   - **A**: Since the confidence interval includes zero, there is insufficient evidence that \( \beta_1 \) is not zero, which indicates that there may not be a relationship between \( x_1 \) and \( y \).
   
   - **B**: Since the confidence interval does not include zero, there is sufficient evidence that \( \beta_1 \) is not zero, which indicates that there may be a relationship between \( x_1 \) and \( y \).
   
   - **C**: Since the confidence interval includes zero, there is sufficient evidence that \( \beta_1 \) is not zero, which indicates that there may not be a relationship between \( x_1 \) and \( y \).
   
   - **D**: Since the confidence interval does not include zero, there is insufficient evidence that \( \beta_1 \) is not zero, which indicates that there may not be a relationship between \( x_1 \) and \( y \).

#### Explanation:

A confidence interval for a regression coefficient gives a range of values within which we can say with a certain level of confidence (95% in this case) that the true coefficient lies. If the interval does not include zero, it suggests a statistically significant relationship. Conversely, if zero is included, the evidence for a relationship may be insufficient.
