We want to test whether the variable x1 is significant. The critical value obtained from ttable at the 1% level is:.
1. ±2.650.
2. ±2.921.
3. ± 2.977.
4. ± 3.012.

4. ± 3.012

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Assuming that for both variables X₁ and X₂ n₁= n₂ = 16

You need to test at 1% if the variable is significant, this means, if the slope for X₁ is different from zero (β₁≠0) using the t-statistic and the critical value approach.

The hypotheses are:

H₀: β₁= 0

H₁: β₁≠ 0

α: 0.01

The degrees of freedom "n₁-3" are determined by the number of parameters that you estimate for the multiple regression, in this case there are three "β₁" "β₂" and "δ²e"

The rejection region for this test is two-tailed, the critical values are:

±

I hope this helps!

x= 25/4.
