MC Chapter 27 – Inference on slope

Growth hormones are often used to increase the weight gain of chickens. In an experiment using 15 chickens, five different doses of growth hormone (0,.2,.4,.8, and 1.0 mg/kg) were injected into chickens (three for each dose) and the subsequent weight gain was recorded. An experimenter plots the data and finds that a linear relationship appears to hold. A computer output follows: SOURCE DF SUM OF SQUARES MEAN SQUARE F VALUE p-value MODEL ERROR TOTAL COEFFICENT StDevTp CONSTANT DOSE ) The least-squares regression line is: A) = x B) = x C) = x E) = x D) = x

An appropriate null and alternate hypothesis to test the slope, the test statistic, and the p-value are: A) H 0 :  = 0 H a :  < 0; T = 2.85; p-value =.0069 B) H 0 :   0 H a :  < 0; T = 3.23; p-value =.0066 C) H 0 :  = 0 H a :  > 0; T = 2.85; p-value =.0137 D) H 0 :  = 0 H a :  > 0; T = 3.23; p-value =.0033 E) H 0 :  = 0 H a :  > 0; T = 2.85; p-value =.0069
