1. Data is below
Choose three explanatory variables to model the traffic fatality rate; analyze your variables
Set up formal hypothesis tests for each explanatory variable and state your reasoning for choosing a significance level for hypothesis testing
Estimate the model and present your results
Perform t-test analysis on each variable and discuss results of your hypothesis testing, including statistical significance. In Stata, use \"test\" command follows by the exogenous variable you want to test. See Appendix B on page 584-585 for the critical values. (You can do something fancier with this command e.g. test x1+x2=1, if you have a null hypothesis that the coefficient of two variables should sum up to 1 for example a constant return to scale of a Cobb-Douglas production function. This is not a part of this exercise)
Discuss the results in terms of your original expectations

Here the explanatory variables which are affecting on the traffiv fatility rate are beertax,mlda and unrate.
We want to test the hypothesis that ,
H0 :Bj = 0 Vs H1 : Bj 0. (where Bj is the regression coefficient)
Test statistic for this is,
t = b / SEb with n - 2 degrees of freedom.
Where SEb = standard error of b.
b = regression coefficient.
n = total number of observations.
The data is given in the problem.
The output for this data by using minitab is,
Command : stat ==>regression ==>regression ==>response=y ==>predictors =x1,x2,x3 ==> graphs ==>four in one ==>results ==>second option==>ok
This will gives us the following output as
Regression Analysis: y versus x1, x2, x3
The regression equation is
 y = - 6.70 + 0.029 x1 + 0.644 x2 - 0.341 x3

 Residual Error 332 900.02 2.71
 Total 335 1344.00
Here we use level of significance = 0.05
We see that p-value for variable x2 and x3 are less than 0.05 so we reject null hypothesis at 5 % level of significance and for variable x1 p-value> 0.05 so fail to reject null hypothesis.
Conclusion :
For x2 and x3 :regression coefficient for x2 and x3 are differ from 0.
For x1 : regression coefficient for x1 may be 0.
