An insurance company is trying to estimate the average number of sick days that full-time food-service workers use per year. They would like to develop a model to predict the number of sick days based on whether any children between the ages of 4 and 12 years old reside at home with them. The analysis produced the following output:
Coefficients Standard Error t Statistic p-value
Intercept 3.996 1.161268 3.441065 0.004885
Slope 0.358 0.102397 3.496205 0.004413
