View Full Version : Inference for Regression Slope in Minitab - Significance test for Beta

:mad: Frustrated student!! I have been trying to figure out how to do a significance test for Beta on minitab for a week, and have been unable to find the resource. It is part of our final project and we are supposed to be working on our own. I am at my wits end, and am reaching out. I am hoping you all can help. Some more information. It is a hypothesis test for inference for regression slope. We are testing the hypothesis that H0: Beta1=0 while the alternative hypothesis' is that Beta1 does not = 0 .

I think that it may be as simple as a 2 sample t-test, and I just missed a batch of notes along the way, but since this is a larger piece of the final grade, I cannot just assume. If we were doing it by hand, I would have no problem, I just can't get minitab to give me a null and alternative hypo output that looks right, no darn "beta" output. can anyone help?
