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: β₁ = β₂ = 0
H_a: One or more of the parameters is not equal to zero.H₀: One or more of the parameters is not equal to zero.
H_a: β₁ = β₂ = 0    H₀: β₀ ≠ 0
H_a: β₀ = 0H₀: β₁ = β₂ = 0
H_a: All the parameters are not equal to zero.H₀: β₀ = 0
H_a: β₀ ≠ 0

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.    Do not reject H₀. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a significant overall relationship.Reject H₀. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a significant overall relationship.

(b)

Use the t test to determine the significance of SO/IP.

State the null and alternative hypotheses.

H₀: β₁ ≤ 0
H_a: β₁ > 0H₀: β₁ ≥ 0
H_a: β₁ < 0    H₀: β₁ = 0
H_a: β₁ > 0H₀: β₁ ≠ 0
H_a: β₁ = 0H₀: β₁ = 0
H_a: β₁ ≠ 0

Find the value of the test statistic for β₁. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Find the p-value for β₁. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

p-value =

What is your conclusion at the 0.05 level of significance?

Reject H₀. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that SO/IP is a significant factor.Do not reject H₀. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that SO/IP is a significant factor.    Do not reject H₀. There is insufficient evidence to conclude that SO/IP is a significant factor.Reject H₀. There is insufficient evidence to conclude that SO/IP is a significant factor.

Use the t test to determine the significance of HR/IP.

State the null and alternative hypotheses.

H₀: β₂ ≤ 0
H_a: β₂ > 0H₀: β₂ = 0
H_a: β₂ ≠ 0    H₀: β₂ ≠ 0
H_a: β₂ = 0H₀: β₂ ≥ 0
H_a: β₂ < 0H₀: β₂ = 0
H_a: β₂ > 0

Find the value of the test statistic for β₂. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Find the p-value for β₂. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

p-value =

What is your conclusion at the 0.05 level of significance?

Reject H₀. There is insufficient evidence to conclude that HR/IP is a significant factor.Reject H₀. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that HR/IP is a significant factor.    Do not reject H₀. There is insufficient evidence to conclude that HR/IP is a significant factor.Do not reject H₀. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that HR/IP is a significant factor.
