Using data from 23 companies on: X - the price of product A, thousand Y - profit of commercial enterprise, study of their dependence is made. Calculation of the correlation index in ExcelĮxample 3. As a result, the hypothesis H 1 about the statistical significance of the coefficient of determination is accepted. Knowing that α = 0.05, p = 2, and n = 53, we obtain the following value for F crit (see Figure 2).

p and n are the numerator and denominator of the degrees of freedom, respectively.

α is the probability associated with a given distribution.We test the hypotheses using the Fisher F-criterion. To test the significance of the equation as a whole, we hypothesize H 0 about the statistical insignificance of the coefficient of determination and its opposite hypothesis H 1 about the statistical significance of the coefficient of determination: To verify the statistical significance of the multiple regression equation using Fisher's F-test, to draw conclusions. Checking the statistical significance of the regression by the FINV functionĮxample 2. Thus, with a probability of 0.95, the linear correlation coefficient lies in the interval from (–0.386) to (–0.990) with a standard error of 0.205. The results of solving this problem with the functions used in the Excel package are shown in Figure 1.įigure 1 - Example of calculations. The standard error of the linear correlation coefficient is calculated.
