Question

63 A researcher analyzes the factors that may influence amusement park attendance. She estimates the following model:Attendance = ?0 + ?1Price + ?2Temperature + ?3Rides + ?, where Attendance is the daily attendance (in 1,000s), Price is the gate price (in $), Temperature is the average daily temperature (in oF), and Rides is the number of rides at the amusement park. A portion of the regression results is shown in the accompanying table.

Explanation / Answer

Sol:
F=MS regresssion/MS residual

=9,841.47/98.63

=99.78171

p=2.18*10^-14

that is

p=0.0000

alpha=significance level =5%=0.05

p<0.05

Reject Null hypothesis.

and conclude that price,temperature ,rides are jointly significant.

rejects H0, and concludes that the explanatory variables are jointly significant
