Multiple Choice

Data were obtained in a study of the oxygen uptake of 31 middle-aged-males and females while exercising.The researchers were interested in the use of a variety of variables as predictors of Oxygen Uptake.The variables that were measured on the subjects were Age,Weight,the time taken to run a specified distance (Runtime) ,pulse rate at the end of the run (RunPulse) ,their resting pulse rate (RstPulse) ,and their maximum pulse rate during the run (MaxPulse) .The following table from a computer analysis of the data is provided (with some entries deleted and replaced by _**) . What would the appropriate hypotheses be for testing the regression coefficients using the F ratio in the above table?

A) H₀:
H_a:

B) H₀:
H_a: at least one of the

C) H₀:
H_a:

D) H₀: all the = 0
H_a: all the
 0
E) H₀: at most all of the = 0
H_a: at least one or more of the
= 0
