Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The F-statistic is used to test a global hypothesis about a multiple regression equation. It measures the overall significance of the regression model by comparing the explained variance to the residual variance. The higher the F-statistic, the more significant the regression model is. Therefore, the correct option is D, i.e., F.
