In simple linear regression, most often we perform a two-tailed test of the population slope to determine whether there is sufficient evidence to infer that a linear relationship exists.The null hypothesis is stated as:
A) H₀: = 0.
B) H₀: = b1.
C) H₀: = 1.
D) H₀: ≠ 0.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In simple linear regression, the null hypothesis for the population slope is that it equals zero, meaning there is no linear relationship between the two variables. Therefore, the correct statement for the null hypothesis is H₀: 11eb86f3_5f7d_157f_883a_5bfd08aff3b9_TB8195_11 = 0.
