Use the above findings to answer the following questions:
A-Given the above estimated outcome, test to verify if the regression intercept is significant. Use a two-sided p-value statistical approach, and show all the
required steps.
B-What happens to your finding in part A above, if the level of significant is decreased to 1%?
