Question
Assuming that this regression was based on a sample of several hundred individuals, a 95% confidence interval for the slope of the regression line would be given by:
A. 12.095 +- (plus or minus) 1.96(4.211)
B. .0385 +- (plus or minus) 1.96(4.211)
C. .0385 +- (plus or minus) 1.96(5.783)
D. .0385 +-(plus or minus) 2.58(.0728)
E. .0385 +-(plus or minus) 1.96(.0728)
Explanation / Answer
Since the sample size is large, the t critical value will be approximately equal to 1.96 for 95% confidence interval.
Hence,
95% confidence interval for the slope of the regression line would be given by:
.0385 +-(plus or minus) 1.96(.0728)
Option E is correct
