Question 2

a) (5 points) What is the estimate of the model variance?

Estimate of the model variance is 1.07

b) (5 points) Identify the standard error

standard error associated with the

coefficient is 6.96

c) Use the output information to conduct a statistical test of the research hypothesis that for this
diet preparation and length of study, there is a direct (positive) linear relationship between
weight gain and amount of lysine eaten. Use a 5% level of significance.

H0: coefficient of x is not different from zero.

“A linear regression established that ingested lysine (grams) could statistically significantly
predict weight gain (grams), (1, 10) = 26.52, p < .0001 and lysine ingestion accounted for
72.62% of the explained variability in weight gain. The P value is P (t > 5.15) and it is smaller
than 0.000 on the t table. We reject the null hypothesis that coefficient of x (grams of lysine
ingested) is significantly different from zero.”
