The regression printout below shows the results of a regression analysis intended to link company profits (x) to CEO salary (y).A sample of 18 CEOs was used. Can you use the sample results shown here to reject a β = 0 null hypothesis at the 5% significance level? Explain. A)Yes, since the upper bound on the 95% interval estimate of β is greater than 0, we can reject the β = 0 null hypothesis. B)No, since the p-value for the intercept term is greater than the significance level of .05, we can't reject the β = 0 null hypothesis. C)Yes, since the p-value for the coefficient of the profit variable is less than .05, we can reject the β = 0 null hypothesis. D)No, since t_stat for the profit variable is inside ±2.120, we can't reject the β = 0 null hypothesis.
