If the coefficient on a variable is -14.2 and the standard error is 4.4, is the squirrel variable statistically significant?

a. yes

b. no

Expert Solution

(t statistic can be used to know whether coefficient is significant or not. It absolute value of t statistic is less than the level of significant ( which can be 0 .01 or 0.05), then coeeficient is significant.

t statistic = coefficient/ standard error of coeeficient.

t statistic = -14 .2/4.4

= -3.22

Absolute value of t statistic= 3.22

3.22>0.05 ( usual p value)

So variable is insignificant.)

The discharge through a rectangular channel 4.4 m wide is 16 m3/s. The Manning’s coefficient n is 0.03. Determine the normal depth when the slope is 0.008. Check whether the flow is sub or supercritical. If the normal depth is to be kept at 2 m, determine the slope.
