  Hypothesis Testing
  To test whether an independent variable explains the variation in the dependent variable (i.e., it is statistically significant), the hypothesis that is tested is whether the true slope is zero (β1 = 0).
  The appropriate test structure for the null and alternative hypotheses is:

H0: β1 = 0 versus H1: β1 ≠ 0
