Chapter 26 - Inference for Regression - Chapter 26 Exercises - Page 638: 26.30

Answer

$H_{o}: β = 0$ $H_{a}: β > 0$ Using the information from fig 26.14, we have: $t = \frac{0.132259 - 0}{0.007067} = 18.715$ df = 37-2 = 35 Since df > 30, from Table C of the book we have: P < 0.005 Since P < 0.05, we will reject the Null Hypothesis. Hence there is good evidence that the number of manatees killed increases as the number of boats registered increase.
