Answer

Confidence interval: $-0.1343\lt β_1\lt0.1051$ We are 95% confident that $β_1$ is between -0.1343 and 0.1051.

Work Step by Step

From item (e): $∑(x_i-x ̅)^2=\sqrt {n-1}s_x=\sqrt {14-1}\times47.330=170.651$ $n=14$, so: $d.f.=n-2=12$ $level~of~confidence=(1-α).100$% $95$% $=(1-α).100$% $0.95=1-α$ $α=0.05$ $t_{\frac{α}{2}}=t_{0.025}=2.179$ (According to Table VI, for d.f. = 12 and area in right tail = 0.025) $Lower~bound=b_1-t_{\frac{α}{2}}\frac{s_e}{\sqrt {Σ(x_i-x ̅)^2}}=−0.0146-2.179\times\frac{9.375}{170.651}=-0.1343$ $Upper~bound=b_1+t_{\frac{α}{2}}\frac{s_e}{\sqrt {Σ(x_i-x ̅)^2}}=−0.0146+2.179\times\frac{9.375}{170.651}=0.1051$
