Question
If a multiple regression model's model-as-a-whole is significant, then we know:Question 8Answera.all predictors in the model are significantb.at least one of the predictors is significantc.we cannot be sure about if one or more predictors are significant or notd.at least two predictors are significantly associated with each other
Solution
The correct answer is b. at least one of the predictors is significant.
Here's why:
In a multiple regression model, the model-as-a-whole significance test (often an F-test) tests the null hypothesis that all the regression coefficients are equal to zero. If this null hypothesis is rejected (i.e., the model-as-a-whole is significant), it means that at least one of the predictors' regression coefficient is not zero, and therefore, at least one of the predictors is significantly associated with the response variable.
However, it does not necessarily mean that all predictors in the model are significant (option a), nor does it provide any information about the significance of the association between predictors (option d).
Option c is incorrect because the significance of the model-as-a-whole does provide some information about the significance of the predictors - specifically, that at least one is significant.
