STAT JMP Questions

1. State the null and alternative hypotheses for testing the significance of the slope (and thus also the regression).

A: B:

C: D:

2. Fill in the blanks with the appropriate point estimate for β1 and β0, respectively, to obtain the fitted regression line (round to THREE decimal places).

Mercury-hat = ____ + ____Length

Intercept:________

Slope:________

3. What is the predicted mercury concentration in a fish that measures 45 cm in length (round to THREE decimal places)?

4. Interpret the meaning of the R^2 value in the context of this problem.

A. For every unit increase in length, we expect mercury concentration to go up by 0.396 units.

B. 39.6% of the variation in mercury concentration can be explained by length.

C. 39.6% of the variation in length can be explained by mercury concentration.

D. When length is zero, we expect mercury concentration to be 0.396 ppm

E. 65.0% of the variation in length can be explained by mercury concentration.

F. 65% of the variation in mercury concentration can be explained by length.

5. What is the p-value for your hypotheses (round to FOUR decimal places)?

p-value < ____

6. Do you Reject or Fail to Reject
