Question 193344
In the following regression, X = weekly pay, Y = income tax withheld, and n = 35 McDonald’s employees. 
(a) Write the fitted regression equation. Y 0.0343X + 30.7963 
---------------------------
(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 = 34 ; I don't have your D-chart. 
(c) What is your conclusion about the slope? 
Since the p-value is greater than 5% the slope fail to reject Ho: rho = 0
(d) Interpret the 95 percent confidence limits for the slope.
We are 95% confident the slope is between 17.7595 and 43.8331 
(e) Verify that F = t2 for the slope. 8.35 = 2.89^2 
(f) In your own words, describe the fit of this regression.
It is not very good as seen in R^2 = 0.202.  Only 20% of the 
variation in Y is explained by the regression equation.
Cheers,
Stan H.
