Question

Consider a marketer who develops a simple regression model to explain the costs of flighting (Y) by the number of passengers (X), for 12 commercial airline flights during the covid-19 crisis. He uses the sample Y intercept b0, and the sample slope b1, as estimates of the respective population parameters.

You are asked to help this marketer to make his estimation.

  1. Compute the values b0 and b1 of the estimated costs.
  2. Interpret the estimated relationship between the costs of flighting and the number

of passengers.

Now, the marketer wants to test whether the population slope is different from

zero. The hypothesis for this test follow:

H0: β1= 0

H1: β1 ≠ 0

3. Use the t test statistic (b1/Sb1) to test for the significance of the slope (USE T TEST TABLE )
