Student’s t distribution with ν = n – 2, degrees of freedom, and n represents
the number of points in the sample. The test is carried out as that of a
mean value hypothesis testing, i.e., given the level of significance, α,
determine the critical value of t, t
α/2
, then, reject H
0

0
> t

If you test for the value Β
0
= 0, and it turns out that the test suggests that you
do not reject the null hypothesis, H
0
: Β = 0, then, the validity of a linear
regression is in doubt. In other words, the sample data does not support
the assertion that Β≠ 0. Therefore, this is a test of the significance of the
regression model.
