The Null Hypothesis - H0: There is no heteroscedasticity i.e. β1 = 0
The Alternative Hypothesis - H1: There is heteroscedasticity i.e. β1 0

Since Q = 5.58350 < 7.81 =
, there is sufficient evidence to accept H0 which suggests that there is no heteroscedasticity from the Breusch-Pagan test at 5% significance level which means that one or more slopes are zero.
