Question

To study how social media may influence the products consumers​ buy, researchers collected the opening weekend box office revenue​ (in millions of​ dollars) for 23 recent movies and the social media message rate​(average number of messages referring to the movie per​ hour). The data are available below. Conduct a complete simple linear regression analysis of the relationship between revenue​ (y) and message rate​ (x).

Message Rate		Revenue​ ($millions)
1363.2		146
1219.2		79
681.2		67
583.6		37

The least squares regression equation is y=−0.031+ 0.086x. ​(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.)

Check the usefulness of the hypothesized model. What are the hypotheses to​ test?

A.H0​: β1≠0 against Ha​:β1=0

B.H0​:β0=0 against Ha​:β0≠0

C.H0​:β0≠0 against Ha​: β0=0

D.H0​:β1=0 against Ha​: β1not equals≠0 Your answer is correct.

Determine the estimate of the standard deviation.

s=9.59 ​(Round to two decimal places as​ needed.)

What is the test statistic for the​ hypotheses?

t=_____​(Round to two decimal places as​ needed.)
