ABSTRACT

The rejection region requires α = 0.01 in the upper tail of the F distribution with = =v k 21 and = − + = − + =v n k( 1) 2,000 (2 1) 1,9972 . Using MINITAB,

=F 4.6160.01 . The rejection region is >F 4.616. Since the observed value of the test statistic falls in the rejection region

= >F( 2,699.65 4.616), H0 is rejected. There is sufficient evidence to indicate the overall model is adequate at α = 0.01.
