Subject: Statistics - Regression hypotheses [Question] The local phone company assumes that the average number of daily phone calls goes up by 1.5 for each additional person in the household. It has been suggested that people are more talkative than this. A sample of 64 households was taken, and the slope of regression of Y (average number of daily phone calls) on X (size of household) was computed to be 1.75 with a standard error of the regression slope coefficient to be 0.25. Test if significantly more calls per additional person are being made that the phone company assumes, using a level of significance of 0.10. State explicit hypotheses and an explicit conclusion. [Difficulty] Am I on the right track? What do they mean by "explicit"? Am I missing anything? Thanks! [Thoughts] Here is what I have come up with so far. M=1.5, n=64, significance level=0.10 Y = Mx + c y = 1.5 + c = 1.75 x = 0.25 y = 1.5 (0.25) + c = 1.75 1.5 (0.25) + c = 1.75 0.375 - 1.75 = c -1.375 = c y = 1.5x (.1375) null hypothesis: Ho = 0.25 alternative hypothesis = H1 =/ 0.25 |
