Answer

$-t_{\frac{α}{2}}\lt t_0\lt -t_{\frac{α}{2}}$: null hypothesis is not rejected. There is not enough evidence to conclude that a linear relation exists between calories and sugar content.

Work Step by Step

$H_0: β_1=0$ versus $H_1: β\ne0$ $t_0=\frac{b_1}{s_{b_1}}=\frac{−0.0146}{0.05479}=-0.266$ $n=14$, so: $d.f.=n-2=12$ $t_{\frac{α}{2}}=t_{0.005}=3.055$ (According to Table VI, for d.f. = 12 and area in right tail = 0.005) Also, $-t_{\frac{α}{2}}=-3.055$ Since $-t_{\frac{α}{2}}\lt t_0\lt -t_{\frac{α}{2}}$, we do not reject the null hypothesis.
