An estimated regression equation was developed to predict the average number of runs given up per inning pitched (R/IP) given the average number of strikeouts per inning pitched (SO/IP) and the average number of home runs per inning pitched (HR/IP).
R/IP = 0.5365 - 0.2483 SO/IP + 1.032 HR/IP |
(a)
Use the F test to determine the overall significance of the relationship.
State the null and alternative hypotheses.
H0: β0 ≠ 0
Ha: β0 = 0H0:
One or more of the parameters is not equal to zero.
Ha: β1 = β2 =
0 H0:
β0 = 0
Ha: β0 ≠ 0H0:
β1 = β2 = 0
Ha: All the parameters are not equal to
zero.H0: β1 = β2 =
0
Ha: One or more of the parameters is not equal
to zero.
Calculate the test statistic. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
Calculate the p-value. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
p-value =________
What is your conclusion at the 0.05 level of significance?
Do not reject H0. There is insufficient evidence to conclude that there is a significant overall relationship.Reject H0. There is insufficient evidence to conclude that there is a significant overall relationship. Reject H0.
