MULTIPLE REGRESSION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The F test is used to determine whether the overall regression model is significant.
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The F-Test of overall significance in regression is a test of whether or not your linear regression model provides a better fit to a dataset than a model with no predictor variables. Linear regression needs the relationship between the independent and dependent variables to be linear.

Detailed explanation-2: -The F-test is used by a researcher in order to carry out the test for the equality of the two population variances. If a researcher wants to test whether or not two independent samples have been drawn from a normal population with the same variability, then he generally employs the F-test.

Detailed explanation-3: -The F-test of overall significance is the hypothesis test for this relationship. If the overall F-test is significant, you can conclude that R-squared does not equal zero, and the correlation between the model and dependent variable is statistically significant.
