Use the following regression results to answer the question below. ANOVA In conducting a hypothesis test of the slope using a 0.05 level of significance,which of the following is correct?
A)The slope differs significantly from 0 because p = 0.205 is greater then 0.05.
B)The slope does not differ significantly from 0 because p = 0.205 is greater then 0.05.
C)The slope differs significantly from 0 because p = 0.003 is less then 0.05.
D)The slope does not differ significantly from 0 because p = 0.003 is less then 0.05.

In hypothesis testing, we compare the p-value to the level of significance (α) to determine the statistical significance of our test. Here, the p-value for the slope is given as 0.003, which is less than the level of significance of 0.05. Hence, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the slope is significantly different from 0. Therefore, the correct choice is C.
