Zero For Conduct

Unable to understand this one all day and it seems easy

e) is estimated slope value of 1.53 statistically significantly greater than zero? Conduct appropriate assumptions, calculate a test statistic appropriate, calculate a p-value or critical value and interpret your results in the context of the problem. Use α = 0.05.

Here are the known values
A sample of 19 female bear has been measured for the chest (Y) and neck circumference (x), both in inches. The LS regression equation relating the two variables y = 5.32 x 1.53
SSE = 231.72 square inches, r = 0.887, = 365.18 SSxx Sq.Inches, and x ° = 18.76 inches

I hope you mean SSxx the sum of squares regression

So now, Your F statistics. SSxx / MSE

MSE = = 231.72/17 = 13.63 231.72/n-2 ....

Your statistic is F = 365.18/13.63 = 26.79 ....

F = the critical value (1.17) 0.05 = 4.45

Since 26.79 is greater than 4.45 you reject the Ho that beta = 0.
