Case 1: Regression analysis between GDP Growth rate (X) &

Unemployment rate (Y)

Hypotheses
Ho: GDP is not significant predictor for Unemployment rate
Ha: GDP is significant predictor for Unemployment rate
Test
Use of regression analysis for the correlation between the variables.
Use of F test & t test for the future predictability at level of significance 0.10.

Y = the predicted value of Y

They are forming following regression equation as mention below

Y

9.972 - .176

Where X = GDP rate

Y = Unemployment rate

Coefficient Of Correlation = -0.255

Coefficient of Determination = 0.065

Statistical Conclusions
As p value is greater than 0.10, null hypothesis is accepted.
Implications
GDP is responsible for the 6.5 % variation in the unemployment for the past data but as
our null hypothesis is accepted this correlation & regression model may not be true for
the future prediction.
