In simple linear regression, most often we perform a two-tail test of the population slope $\beta$1 to determine whether there is sufficient evidence to infer that a linear relationship exists.The null hypothesis is stated as:

A) H0: $\beta$1 = 0 B) H0: $\beta$1 = b1 C) H0: $\beta$1 $\neq$0 D) None of these choices. A) H0: $\beta$1 = 0 B) H0: $\beta$1 = b1 C) H0: $\beta$1 $\neq$0 D) None of these choices.
