   Question

   A researcher conducts a single regression analysis with “Income” (net monthly salary, in euros) as the dependent variable and variable “Age” (age in years) as the independent variable.

   It calculates a 95% confidence interval (confidence interval) of the slope. This interval turns out to be [0.02; 0.04].

   What can we conclude from this, if we test two-sidedly whether Age has a significant impact on Income? We use here a significance level of 5% (α = 0.05).

   
   
   1. FALSE: Age does have a significant influence on Income, because the interval does not contain the number 0.05.
   2. FALSE: Age has no significant influence on Income, because the interval does not contain the number 0.05.
   3. FALSE: Age has no significant influence on Income, because the interval does not contain the number 0.
   4. TRUE: Age does have a significant influence on Income, because the interval does not contain the number 0.
