4) The following regression output represents food expenditure in Morocco:

FoodExpi = 94.2087 + 0.4368TotalExpi

Se = (50.8563) (0.0783)

t = (1.8524) (5.5770)

p = (0.0695) (0.0000)*

r2 = 0.3698 df = 53

F1.53 = 31.1034 (p value = 0.0000)*

Where * denotes extremely small.

(a) How do you interpret this regression?(2 marks)

(b)Test the null hypothesis that there is no relationship between food expenditure and total expenditure. Which test do you use and why?
