Question #3: (23 marks) Week 9 Lecture 2

So what is important in this class? Is it attending class? Is it doing well on the midterms? Or is it doing all the quizzes? I randomly selected 10 students from last semester and found out or determined the following from them…

If one can assume that the distribution of marks and the number of classes and quizzes missed follow normal distributions, then one can run a multiple regression on these data to determine what would be the largest influence on the final grade. I did just this and came up with the following:

Based on this information:

Conduct the “Individual” test of the coefficients.

State the Null and Alternative hypotheses (1)

Construct the probability density function and state the rejection rule (1,1)

Perform the test (2)

State your decision. (1)
