An economic instructor at UCF is interested in the relationship between hours spent studying and total points earned in a course. Data collected on 11 students who took the course last semester follow:

# of observation(s) n = 30
# of independent variable(s) = 1
SSR = 1,297 SSE= 920

Required:
Find the F test statistic.

Answer:

[tex]F = 39.47[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]n = 30[/tex] --- observations

[tex]p = 1[/tex] -- variables

[tex]SSR = 1,297[/tex]

[tex]SSE= 920[/tex]

Required

The F statistic

This is calculated using:

[tex]F = \frac{SSR}{p} \div \frac{SSE}{n - p -1}[/tex]

[tex]F = \frac{1297}{1} \div \frac{920}{30 - 1 -1}[/tex]

[tex]F = \frac{1297}{1} \div \frac{920}{28}[/tex]

[tex]F = 1297 \div \frac{920}{28}[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]F = 1297 * \frac{28}{920}[/tex]

[tex]F = \frac{1297 *28}{920}[/tex]

[tex]F = \frac{36316}{920}[/tex]

[tex]F = 39.47[/tex]
