问题如下:
1. Based on Exhibit 1 and given Varden’s expectations, which is the best null hypothesis and conclusion regarding CEO tenure?
选项:
A.b2≤ 0; reject the null hypothesis
B.b2 = 0; cannot reject the null hypothesis
C.b2 ≥ 0; reject the null hypothesis
解释:
A is correct. Varden expects to find that CEO tenure is positively related to the firm’s ROE. If he is correct, the regression coefficient for tenure, b2, will be greater than zero (b2 > 0) and statistically significant. The null hypothesis supposes that the "suspected" condition is not true, so the null hypothesis should state the variable is less than or equal to zero. The t-statistic for tenure is 2.308, significant at the 0.027 level, meeting Varden’s 0.05 significance requirement. Varden should reject the null hypothesis.
这道题是单尾检验在significant level 5% (拒绝域左边5%),请问所以T值应该是相当于双尾10% 也就是1.65了吗?一级有些忘记了,谢谢
