SCENARIO 13-15 The superintendent of a school district wanted to predict the percentage of students passing a sixth- grade proficiency test.She obtained the data on percentage of students passing the proficiency test (% Passing), mean teacher salary in thousands of dollars (Salaries), and instructional spending per pupil in thousands of dollars (Spending) of 47 schools in the state. Following is the multiple regression output with Y = % Passing as the dependent variable, X1 = Salaries and X 2 = Spending: Regression Statistics Multiple R 0.4276 R Square 0.1828 Adjusted R Square 0.1457 Standard Error 5.7351 Observations 47 ANOVA df SS MS F Significance F Regression 2 323.8284 161.9142 4.9227 0.0118 Residual 44 1447.2094 32.8911 Total 46 1771.0378 Coefficients Standard Error t Stat P-value Lower 95\% Upper 95\% Intercept -72.9916 45.9106 -1.5899 0.1190 -165.5184 19.5352 Salary 2.7939 0.8974 3.1133 0.0032 0.9853 4.6025 Spending 0.3742 0.9782 0.3825 0.7039 -1.5972 2.3455 -Referring to SCENARIO 13-15, you can conclude that instructional spending per pupil has no impact on the mean percentage of students passing the proficiency test, considering the effect of mean teacher salary, at a 5% level of significance using the confidence interval estimate for β\beta 2 .
