A Researcher Wants to Examine How the Remaining Balance on $100,000

Multiple Choice

A researcher wants to examine how the remaining balance on $100,000 loans taken 10 to 20 years ago depends on whether the loan was a prime or subprime loan.He collected a sample of 25 prime loans and 25 subprime loans and recorded the data in the following variables: Balance = the remaining amount of loan to be paid off (in $) ,
Time = the time elapsed from taking the loan,
Prime = a dummy variable assuming 1 for prime loans,and 0 for subprime loans.
The regression results obtained for the models:
Model A: Balance = β₀ + β₁Prime + ε
Model B: Balance = β₀ + β₁Time + β₂Prime + β₃Time × Prime + ε
Model C: Balance = β₀ + β₁Prime + β₂Time × Prime + ε,
Are summarized in the following table. Note: The values of relevant test statistics are shown in parentheses below the estimated coefficients.
Which of the following is the p-value for testing the individual significance of Time in Model B?

A) Less than 0.10
B) Less than 0.20 but at least 0.10
C) Less than 0.40 but at least 0.20
D) More than 0.40
