Answer to Question 1

In multiple regression analysis, the t statistic is used to test if an individual population slope coefficient is significantly different from zero  where the coefficient is the change in the dependent variable given a unit change in the independent variable, while all other explanatory variables are held constant. Essentially, it tells us whether that particular explanatory variable makes a significant contribution to the model. The partial F statistic is used to test if an individual explanatory variable or a set of individual explanatory variables is significant to the model, holding all other variables fixed. So, for the individual problem, the F statistic and the t statistic must produce identical results and they do, because t2 = F in these cases. As you might guess, t is more widely used because it is much easier to calculate and access from statistical packages.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.

Did you know?

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
