Question

Data on 12 randomly selected athletes was obtained concerning their cardiovascular fitness (measured by time to exhaustion running on a treadmill) and performance in a 20-km ski race. Both variables were measured in minutes and a regression analysis was performed.

Ski = 86 -1.7*Treadmill

Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a linear relationship between cardiovascular fitness and ski race performance?

The p-value is between _______________________

Please show your work in finding the p-value and do not just use software or excel to find it. Thanks!

Coefficients Estimate Std. Error (Intercept) 86 0.78 Treadmill -1.7 2.267

Explanation / Answer

Here T statistic formula = Estimate of b1 / standad error of b1

Calculations

T = -1.7 / 2.267 = 0.75

p value = 2*p [T < -0.75] = 0.4689

here p value < 0.05, do not reject Null hypothesis

we conclude that there is no sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a linear relationship between cardiovascular fitness and ski race performance
