Applicants for a particular job, which involves extensive travel in Spanish-speaking countries, must take a proficiency test in Spanish. The sample data were obtained in a study of the relationship between the numbers of years (x) applicants have studied Spanish and their score
on the test. The regression analysis is given below.
The regression equation is = 31.53333 + 10.90476x.
R-sq = 83.0%
10 - 2 = 8 degrees of freedom

: No linear relationship between the number of years and test score, β = 0.
: There is a linear relationship between the number of years and test score, β â‰* 0.
Do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the number of years applicants have studied Spanish and their score on the test are independent? Assume α = 0.05.
26) I CHOSE D, IS THAT CORRECT?
A)
No conclusions can be drawn without a chi-squared test of independence.
B)
Since the P-value=0.00111 < 0.05, we reject and conclude that there is an association between the number of years applicants have studied Spanish and their score on the test.
C)
Since the P-value =0.00111 < 0.05, we reject and conclude that the number of years applicants have studied Spanish and their score on the test are independent.
D)
Since the P-value =0.00024 < 0.05, we reject and conclude that the number of years applicants have studied Spanish and their score on the test are independent.
E)
Since the P-value=0.00024 < 0.05, we reject and conclude that there is an association between the number of years applicants have studied Spanish and their score on the test.
