Akiko Hamaguchi is a manager at a small sushi restaurant in Phoenix, Arizona, Akiko is concerned that the weak economic environment has hampered foot traffic in her area, thus causing a dramatic decline in sales. In order to offset the decline in sales, she has pursued a strong advertising campaign. She believes advertising expenditures have a positive influence on sales. To support her claim, Akiko estimates the following linear regression model: Sales = Bo + B1 Unemployment + B2Advertising + E. A portion of the regression results is shown in the accompanying table.

Yes, since the F test is significant Yes, since all t-tests are significant.

Reject HO; the unemployment rate and sales are negatively related Do not reject HO; we cannot conclude the unemployment rate and sales are negatively related. Do not reject HO: We can conclude the unemployment rate and sales are positively related. Do not reject HO: we cannot conclude the unemployment rate and sales are positively related. 0-1.
