Question

interpret the below. What do B and t mean

Coefficientsa
Model		Unstandardized Coefficients		Standardized Coefficients	t	Sig.
		B	Std. Error	Beta
1	(Constant)	7.029	.059		119.307	.000
	Q1. Age	.027	.001	.090	17.839	.000
a. Dependent Variable: Trust in Government Index (higher scores=more trust)

Answer 1

Solution:

In the given output, column B is the columns of the coefficient.

Constant = 7.029 is the intercept of the regression equation and it is the average value of the response variable when the value of the independent variable is 0

Q1. Age = 0.027 is the slope of the regression equation and it means for a unit change in the Age variable, the response variable (Trust in Government index) is expected to be increased by 0.027 units.

The t-value in the table means the test statistic for the given coefficients and these are used to test if the coefficients are statistically significant. In the given output, since the p-values are less than the significance level, we, therefore, conclude that both the coefficients are significant.
