Question 140653:  12.50
 
In the following regression, X = total assets ($ billions), Y = total revenue ($ billions), and n = 64 
large banks. (a) Write the fitted regression equation. (b) State the degrees of freedom for a two tailed 
test for zero slope, and use Appendix D to find the critical value at α = .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. (f) In your own words, describe the fit of this regression.

You can  put this solution on YOUR website! In the following regression, X = total assets ($ billions), Y = total revenue ($ billions), and n = 64 large banks. 
--------------------------------------------  
(a) Write the fitted regression equation. 
Y = 6.5763 + 0.0452X 
-------------------------------  
(b) State the degrees of freedom for a two tailed test for zero slope, and use Appendix D to find the critical value at α = .05.  
df=62 ; t = 2.660 
------------------------------ 
(c) What is your conclusion about the slope?  
Since p-valu = 1.90E-11 the slope is not zero : X is statistically  
significant in determining Y 
------------------------------ 
(d) Interpret the 95 percent confidence limits for the slope.  
0.0452 is in the 95% confidence interval 
------------------------------------- 
(e) Verify that F = t2 for the slope. 
66.97 is not equal to  8.183^2  
------------------------------------------ 
(f) In your own words, describe the fit of this regression. 
Since R2 is 51.9% the reg. eq. explains only that percent  
of the variability between Y and X.
