The American Association of Individual Investors (AAII) On-Line Discount Broker Survey polls members on their experiences with discount brokers. As part of the survey, members were asked to rate the quality of the speed of execution with their broker as well as provide an overall satisfaction rating for electronic trades. Possible responses (scores) were no opinion (0), unsatisfied (1), somewhat satisfied (2), satisfied (3), and very satisfied (4). For each broker summary scores were computed by calculating a weighted average of the scores provided by each respondent. Suppose a portion of the survey results follow.
Brokerage | Speed | Satisfaction |
---|---|---|
A | 3.4 | 3.5 |
B | 3.3 | 3.3 |
C | 3.4 | 3.9 |
D | 3.6 | 3.9 |
E | 3.2 | 2.9 |
F | 3.8 | 2.8 |
G | 3.8 | 3.6 |
H | 2.6 | 2.5 |
I | 2.7 | 2.3 |
J | 4.0 | 4.0 |
K | 2.5 | 2.5 |
These ratings data on x = the quality of the speed of execution and y = overall satisfaction with electronic trades provided the estimated regression equation ŷ = 0.040 + 0.958x. At the 0.05 level of significance, test whether speed of execution and overall satisfaction are related. (Use the F test.)

What is your conclusion?
a) Do not reject H0. We conclude that the relationship between speed of execution and overall satisfaction is significant.Reject H0.
b) We conclude that the relationship between speed of execution and overall satisfaction is significant.
c) Reject H0. We cannot conclude that the relationship between speed of execution and overall satisfaction is significant.
d) Do not reject H0. We cannot conclude that the relationship between speed of execution and overall satisfaction is significant.
X- The quality of speed of execution
Y- Overall satisfaction with electronic trades
Y = 0.04 + 0.958 * X
Null Hypothesis: the relationship between speed of execution and overall satisfaction is not significant i.e, 10
Alternative Hypothesis: The relationship between speed of execution and overall satisfaction is significant i.e, 10
The F-statistic is 13.979
The P-value is 0.005
Option b is correct because
From the ANOVA table, we can conclude that the p-value is 0.005 which is less than 0.05. So, we conclude that the relationship between speed of execution and overall satisfaction is significant.
