12.48 In the following regression, X = weekly pay, Y = income tax withheld, and n = 35 McDonalds employees. (a) Write the fitted regression equation. (b) State the degrees of freedom for a twotailed test for zero slope, and use Appendix D to find the critical value at &#945; = .05. (c) What is your conclusion about the slope? (d) Interpret the 95 percent confidence limits for the slope. (e) Verify that F = t2 for the slope. 

a) Write the fitted regression equation.
Y = 30.7963 + 0.0343X
-------------------------------- 
(b) State the degrees of freedom for a twotailed test for zero slope, and use Appendix D to find the critical value at &#945; = .05.
df = 33 ; critical value is 2.035 (see page 782) 
(c) What is your conclusion about the slope? 
Since the p-value is 0.0068 (less than 1%), the true value is not zero.
------------------------
(d) Interpret the 95 percent confidence limits for the slope.
We are 95% confident that the slope is between 0.0101 and 0.0584
---------------------- 
(e) Verify that F = t2 for the slope. 
2.889^2 = = 8.346321 (rounded is 8.35)
