A study of the top MBA programs attempted to predict the average starting salary (in $1000's) of graduates of the program based on the amount of tuition (in $1000's) charged by the program and the average GMAT score of the program's students. The results of a regression analysis based on a sample of 75 MBA programs is shown below:

One of the t-test test statistics is shown on the printout to be the value t = 5.58. Interpret this value.
◦ There is sufficient evidence, at α = 0.05, to indicate that the interaction between average tuition and average GMAT score is a useful predictor of the average starting salary of graduates of MBA programs.
◦ There is sufficient evidence, at α = 0.05, to indicate that at least one of the variables proposed in the interaction model is useful at predicting the average starting salary of graduates of MBA programs.
◦ There is insufficient evidence, at α = 0.05, to indicate that at least one of the variables proposed in the interaction model is useful at predicting the average starting salary of graduates of MBA programs.
◦ There is insufficient evidence, at α = 0.05, to indicate that the interaction between average tuition and average GMAT score is a useful predictor of the average starting salary of graduates of MBA programs.
