(a) Choose the correct set of hypotheses for a two-tailed test for a zero slope.

H0: β1 ≥ 0 vs. H1: β1 < 0
H0: β1 ≤ 0 vs. H1: β1 > 0
H0: β1 = 0 vs. H1: β1 ≠ 0
multiple choice 1
a
b
c

(b-1) What is the p-value? (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)

(b-2) State the 95% confidence interval for the slope. (Negative values should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answers to 4 decimal places.)

(c) Choose the correct statement.

multiple choice 2
The slope is not significantly different from zero.
The slope is significantly different from zero.

**a) Choose the correct set of hypotheses for a two-tailed test for a zero slope.**
* **H0: β1 = 0 vs. H1: β1 ≠ 0**
This set of hypotheses correctly represents a two-tailed test for a zero slope.
* H0: β1 = 0 (null hypothesis): The slope of the regression line is zero, meaning there is no linear relationship between the number of operators (X) and the wait time (Y).
* H1: β1 ≠ 0 (alternative hypothesis): The slope of the regression line is not zero, meaning there is a linear relationship between the number of operators (X) and the wait time (Y).
**b-1) What is the p-value?**
To find the p-value, you would typically use statistical software like Excel, R, or Python.
* **In Excel:**
1. **Data Analysis Toolpak:** Ensure the Data Analysis Toolpak is enabled in Excel (File -> Options -> Add-ins -> Excel Add-ins -> Go -> Check "Analysis Toolpak").
2. **Data Analysis:** Go to "Data" -> "Data Analysis" -> "Regression".
3. **Input:**
* Input Y Range: Select the "Wait Time (Y)" column.
* Input X Range: Select the "Operators (X)" column.
* Check "Labels" if you have included column headers.
4. **Output Options:** Choose an output location.
5. **Click "OK".**
The regression output will include the p-value for the slope coefficient.
* **Note:** Since the sample size is very small (n = 5), the results of the regression analysis might not be very reliable.
**b-2) State the 95% confidence interval for the slope.**
The 95% confidence interval for the slope will also be provided in the regression output from Excel. It will be presented in the form:
* **Slope ± Margin of Error**
**c) Choose the correct statement.**
* **To determine the correct statement, you need to compare the p-value to your chosen significance level (usually 0.05).**
* If p-value ≤ 0.05: Reject the null hypothesis (H0). The slope is significantly different from zero.
* If p-value > 0.05: Fail to reject the null hypothesis (H0). The slope is not significantly different from zero.
**Disclaimer:**
* I cannot provide the exact p-value or confidence interval without the actual Excel output.
* With a sample size of only 5, the results of the regression analysis may not be statistically significant.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
