One way we can test statistical significance is to use the t-test for

: β 1
= 0 vs. H a
: β 1
We reject H o
if |t-value| is large. If the null hypothesis is rejected, we

A company, which sells medical supplies to hospitals, clinics, and doctor's
offices, had considered the effectiveness of a new advertising program.
Management wants to know if the advertisement is related to sales. This
company intends to increase the sales with an effective advertising
program.
What inferences can be made on the regression coefficients?
a. What is the estimate of the coefficient C "
and its variance? What is its
sampling distribution?
b. What is the estimate of the coefficient C (
and its variance?
c. Is the coefficient C "
statistically significant? What is the p-value of the test?
Interpret.
d. Is the coefficient C "
statistically positive? What is the p-value of the test?
Interpret.
e. Obtain the 99% confidence interval for C "
f. What is the p-value of a hypothesis testing procedure?
