Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The computed F statistic can be calculated as (SSR/k) / (SSE/(n-k-1)), where k is the number of independent variables in the model and n is the total number of observations. In this case, k = 1 and n = 44. Plugging in the values, we get F = (600/1) / (400/(44-1-1)) = 20.00. Therefore, the correct choice is B.
