A consumer's spending is widely believed to be a function of their income. To estimate this relationship, a university professor randomly selected 19 of his students and collected information on their spending (Y, in dollars) and income (X, in dollars) patterns in week 6 of the semester. Assuming a linear relationship between Y and X, the professor used the least-squares method and found that the Y intercept = 20.90 and the slope = 0.66. Also, the sum of squares total (SST) and the error sum of squares (SSE) were equal to 65600.74 and 12769.51, respectively. Based on this information, the coefficient of determination can be interpreted as follows a. 80.53% of the variation in weekly income is explained by the variation in a student's weekly spending. b. 19.47% of the variation in weekly spending is explained by the variation in a student's weekly income. c. 80.53% of the variation in weekly spending is explained by the variation in a student's weekly income. d. 19.47% of the variation in weekly income is explained by the variation in a student's weekly spending.

Solution

Answer: The coefficient of determination, also known as R-squared, is calculated as 1 - (SSE/SST).

So, R-squared = 1 - (12769.51/65600.74) = 0.8053 or 80.53%

The coefficient of determination measures the proportion of the variance in the dependent variable that is predictable from the independent variable(s). In this case, the dependent variable is weekly spending (Y) and the independent variable is weekly income (X).

Therefore, the correct interpretation is:

c. 80.53% of the variation in weekly spending is explained by the variation in a student's weekly income.

A consumer's spending is widely believed to be a function of their income. To estimate this relationship, a university professor randomly selected 19 of his students and collected information on their spending (Y, in dollars) and income (X, in dollars) patterns in week 6 of the semester. Assuming a linear relationship between Y and X, the professor used the least-squares method and found that the Y intercept = 20.90 and the slope = 0.66. The professor also found that the standard error of the slope was 0.08. Based on this information, what conclusion should you reached at the 5% level of significance when testing the null hypothesis that there is no linear relationship between the two variables, X and Y? a. There is sufficient evidence at the 5% level of significance to conclude that there is no significant linear relationship between X and Y. b. There is sufficient evidence at the 5% level of significance to conclude that there is a significant linear relationship between X and Y. c.
