Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
Answer will vary.
Here the data set B is taken, in which the midterm exam (X) and final exam score (Y) is given.
Hypotheses:
Null hypothesis:
That is, the slope is zero.
Alternative hypothesis:
That is, the slope not equal to zero.
Regression:
Suppose
Where,
The total sum of squares is denoted as,
The regression sum of squares is denoted as,
The error sum of squares is denoted as,
From the regression the fitted line is denoted as,
The 95% confidence interval for the slope,
Where,
Software Procedure:
Step-by-step software procedure to find R-squared using EXCEL is as follows:
- • Open an EXCEL file.
- • In column A and B, enter the Midterm Exam Score and Final Exam Score data.
- • Click on data > click on Data analysis.
- • Choose Regression > click OK.
- • Select Input Y range as the column of Final Exam Score.
- • Select Input X range as the column of Midterm Exam Score.
- • Select the output range.
- • Click OK.
- Output using EXCEL is given below:
Thus, the R-squared value is 0.429.

b.

Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
For the F-test of the slope the p-value is 0.000.
Decision rule:
If
If
It is assumed that the level of significance is 0.05.
Conclusion:
Here the p-value is less than the level of significance.
That is,
Hence, by the decision rule, reject the null hypothesis.
Therefore, it can be concluded that there is not sufficient evidence to support that the slope is zero.
Hence, the linear model provides significant fit.
c.
Check whether the model’s fit is good enough to be of practical value.
c.

Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
Now, a hypothesis test is needed to check the whether the model provides good fit or not.
Decision rule:
If
If
Critical value:
From the output it is observed that, the

Thus, the degrees of freedom is56.
For two tailed test, the critical value for t-test will be,
It is assumed that the level of significance,
Procedure for critical-value using EXCEL:
Software Procedure:
Step-by-step software procedure to obtain critical-value using EXCEL software is as follows:
- • Open an EXCEL file.
- • In cell A1, enter the formula “=F.INV.RT(0.05,1,56)”
- Output using EXCEL software is given below:
Hence, the critical value will be 4.013.
From the output in part (a), the F-statistic value is 42.22.
The level of significance is 0.05.
Conclusion:
Here the F-statistics is greater than the critical value.
That is,
Hence, by the decision rule, reject the null hypothesis.
Therefore, it can be concluded that there is not sufficient evidence to support that the slope is zero.
Hence, linear model provides significant fit.
The coefficient of determination (

- A marketing agency wants to determine whether different advertising platforms generate significantly different levels of customer engagement. The agency measures the average number of daily clicks on ads for three platforms: Social Media, Search Engines, and Email Campaigns. The agency collects data on daily clicks for each platform over a 10-day period and wants to test whether there is a statistically significant difference in the mean number of daily clicks among these platforms.
