I am unsure how to find the value of the F-Test stats for testing, and what my decision should be, to accept or reject the null.....

Using the California Test scores (cascbool.dta data set (discussed in the class,Ilook at the relationship between test-score, student-teacher ratio, and average income.

Explanation / Answer

From STATA output table,

Fcal = 0.100318431 / 0.000370638

= 270.66

Fcritical = 7.52

If Fcal > Fcritical then Reject H0 i.e. reject the null hypothesis.
