TABLE 14-16
the Superintendent of a School District Wanted

Short Answer

TABLE 14-16
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), daily average of the percentage of students attending class (% Attendance), average teacher salary in dollars (Salaries), and instructional spending per pupil in dollars (Spending) of 47 schools in the state.
Following is the multiple regression output with Y = % Passing as the dependent variable, X₁ = % Attendance, X₂ = Salaries and
X₃ = Spending:

-Referring to Table 14-16, what is the value of the test statistic when testing whether daily average of the percentage of students attending class has any effect on percentage of students passing the proficiency test?
