Suppose a savings and loan association wants to forecast the delinquency rate on home mortgages. Using monthly data, the following trend is estimated.
A. Does this estimate indicate a significant upward trend in the delinquency rate on home mortgages? In the space below, perform the appropriate t-test at the 5 percent significance level.
B.Perform an F-test to determine if the model is statiscally significant at the 5 percent level of significance.
C. Calculate the predicted delinquency rates for January 2014 and March 2014
DRJan 2014= ? percent
DR Mar 2014= ? percent
