Researchers are conducting a study in an attempt to establish a linear relationship between the number of online music video views and the number of guitar sales. A computer output for regression is shown and is based on a sample of seven observations.

a. 0.0948 ± 3.499 (1.3162)

b. 0.0948 ± 4.032 (1.3162)

c. 0.0948 ± 3.707 (0.0279)

d. 0.0948 ± 4.032 (0.0279)

d. 0.0948 ± 4.032 (0.0279)

Step-by-step explanation:

A 99% confidence interval for the coefficient of promotional expenditures is, First, compute the t critical value then find confidence interval.

The t critical value for the 99% confidence interval is,

The sample size is small and two-tailed test. Look in the column headed es = 0.01 and the row headed in the t distribution table by using degree of freedom is here

for (n-2=5) degree of freedom and 99% confidence; critical t = 4.032

therefore 99% confidence interval for the slope = estimated slope - / + t*Std error

= 0.094781123 - / + 4.032 * 0.027926367 = - 0.017822 to 0.207384
