Question 17

Multiple Choice


The linear regression equation, Y = a + bX, was estimated. The following computer printout was
obtained:
 DEPENDENT VARIABLE:  Y  R-SQUARE  F-RATIO  P-VALUE ON F  OBSERVATIONS: 180.30667.0760.0171\begin{array}{rllll}\text { DEPENDENT VARIABLE: } & \text { Y } & \text { R-SQUARE } & \text { F-RATIO } & \text { P-VALUE ON F } \\\text { OBSERVATIONS: } &18 & 0.3066 & 7.076 & 0.0171\end{array}
