Question

Consider the following data on x = rainfall volume (m3) and y = runoff volume (m3) for a particular location.

x 4 12 14 20 23 30 40 47 55 67 72 83 96 112 127
y 4 10 13 14 15 25 27 46 38 46 53 75 82 99 104

Use the accompanying Minitab output to decide whether there is a useful linear relationship between rainfall and runoff.

The regression equation is
runoff = -2.07 + 0.850 rainfall
Predictor   Coef Stdev t-ratio p
Constant -2.067 2.412 -0.86 0.407
rainfall 0.85038 0.03708 22.93 0.000
s = 5.321   R-sq = 97.6%   R-sq(adj) = 97.4%

State the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses.

H0: ?1 = 0

Ha: ?1 > 0
H0: ?1 = 0

Ha: ?1 ≠ 0    
H0: ?1 = 0

Ha: ?1 < 0
H0: ?1 ≠ 0

Ha: ?1 = 0


Compute the test statistic value and find the P-value. (Round your test statistic to two decimal places and your P-value to three decimal places.)

t =

State the conclusion in the problem context. (Use ? = 0.05.)

Reject H0. There is a useful linear relationship between runoff and rainfall at the 0.05 level.Reject H0.

For this question, my answers were = [0.742, 0.959]m3 but it came up wrong, any chance you could explain why. I used R programming to evaluate the question; my code written below: 

 

# Enter the data
x <- c(4, 12, 14, 20, 23, 30, 40, 47, 55, 67, 72, 83, 96, 112, 127)
y <- c(4, 10, 13, 14, 15, 25, 27, 46, 38, 46, 53, 75, 82, 99, 104)

# Fit the linear regression model
model <- lm(y ~ x)

# Extract the coefficient and standard error for the slope
coef <- coef(model)[2]
se <- summary(model)$coefficients[2, 2]

# Calculate the confidence interval
alpha <- 0.05
t_crit <- qt(1 - alpha / 2, df = length(x) - 2)
lower <- coef - t_crit * se
upper <- coef + t_crit * se

# Print the results
round(lower, 3)   # Lower bound of CI
round(upper, 3)   # Upper bound of CI[0.742, 0.959]
[0.742, 0.959]m3
