Critics of television often refer to the detrimental effects that all the violence shown on television has on children. However, there may be another problem. It may be that watching television also reduces the amount of physical exercise, causing weight gains.The following regression estimates show the relationship between the number of kilograms (in kgs) a child is overweight by, and the number of hours of television viewing per weekoverweight  =  0.55 +    0.13 hours (0.27)       (0.04)  Standard errors are shown in the brackets. The sample size is N=1800We want to test the hypothesis that the population slope parameter equals to 0. Suppose we obtained a t-statistic that is small such that we do not reject the null hypothesis. Is this statement true or false: "There is a positive relationship between TV viewing and being overweight."  Group of answer choicesTrueFalse

Solution

The statement "There is a positive relationship between TV viewing and being overweight" is True. This is because the coefficient of the hours of television viewing is positive (0.13), which indicates that as the number of hours of television viewing increases, the number of kilograms a child is overweight by also increases, assuming all other factors are held constant. However, the hypothesis test is about whether this relationship is statistically significant
