Chapter 17, Problem 5P
Using the same approach as was employed to derive Eqs. (17.15) and (17.16), derive the least-squares fit of the following model:
That is, determine the slope that results in the least-squares fit for a straight line with a zero intercept. Fit the following data with this model and display the result graphically:
| x | 2 | 4 | 6 | 7 | 10 | 11 | 14 | 17 | 20 |
| y | 1 | 2 | 5 | 2 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 9 | 12 |

A seafood-sales manager collected data on the maximum daily temperature, T, and the daily revenue from salmon sales, R, using sales receipts for 30 days selected at random. Using the data, the manager conducted a regression analysis and found the least-squares regression line to be Rˆ=126+2.37T. A hypothesis test was conducted to investigate whether there is a linear relationship between maximum daily temperature and the daily revenue from salmon sales. The standard error for the slope of the regression line is SEb1=0.65. Assuming the conditions for inference have been met, which of the following is closest to the value of the test statistic for the hypothesis test?
t=0.274
A
t=0.65
B
t=1.54
C
t=3.65
