For a sample of 40 Australian cities, a sociologist studies the crime rate in each city (crime per 100,000 residents) as a function of its poverty rate (in %) and its average income (in $1,000). A portion of the regression results shows that the coefficients for poverty and average income are 54.22 and 5.10, respectively. Based on this information, what is the upper critical value used to test the null hypothesis that X1 has no significant effect on Y at the 5% level of significance? Answer this question using our textbook statistical table. Note: Y = crime rate in each city (crime per 100,000 residents); X1 = poverty rate (in %); and X2 = average income (in $1,000).

Solution

The information provided does not include the degrees of freedom, which is necessary to find the critical value from a statistical table. However, assuming that the degrees of freedom is n-3 (where n is the number of observations), we would have 40-3=37 degrees of freedom.

To test the null hypothesis that X1 has no significant effect on Y at the 5% level of significance, we would use a t-distribution table.

In a t-distribution table, the row that corresponds to 37 degrees of freedom and the column that corresponds to a two-tailed test with a significance level of 0.05 (or a one-tailed test with a significance level of 0.025) would give us the critical value.

Please refer to your specific textbook's statistical table for the exact critical value.

For a sample of 30 Australian cities, a sociologist studies the crime rate in each city (crime per 100,000 residents) as a function of its poverty rate (in %) and its average income (in $1,000). A portion of the regression results shows that the coefficients for poverty and average income are 54.22 and 5.10, respectively. Based on this information, what is the value of test statistic used to test the null hypothesis that X1 has no significant effect on Y at the 5% level of significance, if the standard error of the slope of Y with variable X1 equals 15.50. Round your final answer to two decimal places. Note: Y = crime rate in each city (crime per 100,000 residents); X1 = poverty rate (in %); and X2 = average income (in $1,000).

For a sample of 30 Australian cities, a sociologist studies the crime rate in each city (crime per 100,000 residents) as a function of its poverty rate (in %) and its average income (in $1,000). A portion of the regression results shows that the coefficients for poverty and average income are 54.22 and 5.10, respectively. Based on this information, the null hypothesis that X2 has no significant effect on Y should be stated as follows. Note: Y = crime rate in each city (crime per 100,000 residents); X1 = poverty rate (in %); and X2 = average income (in $1,000). a. β1 = 0 b. β2 = 0 c. β2 > 0 d. b2 = 0

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 is the upper critical value used to test the null hypothesis that there is no linear relationship between the two variables, X and Y at the 5% level of significance? Use our textbook statistical table to answer the question.

A sample of 12 observations collected in a multiple regression study on two independent variables (X1 and X2) shows the following partial results. SST = 12321 and SSE = 3516. If SSR(X1) = 4496 and SSR(X2) = 5378, and you would like to test the null hypothesis that variable X1 does not significantly improve the model after variable X2 has been included, what would be the critical value of F at the 5% level of significance?
