Either you didn't give percentage of confidence interval or the value of level of significance to test the hypothesis. So I assumed it's 95% . You can take as your wishes just follow the method and go through it. Do yourself. If you will face any difficulties you can ask me.

Females, on average, are shorter and weigh less than males. One of your friends, who is a pre-med student, tells you that in addition, females will weigh less for a given height. To test this hypothesis, you collect height and weight of 29 female and 81 male students at your university. A regression of the weight on a constant, height, and a binary variable, which takes a value of one for females and is zero otherwise, yields the following result:...
