Consider the following regression output, from relating the amount of time people spend watching TV in a day and their cholesterol levels. regress cholesterol time_tv Source Model Residual Total cholesterol time_tv _cons SS 5.04902329 28.3220135 33.3710367 df .0440691 -2.134777 1 5.04902329 .289000137 Coef.

(it's approximately 0.15, but I don't really care about the final answer, I want to know how you get there). (2 marks) c) Calculate the degrees of freedom in the model that your F-statistic uses.

(it's approximately {0.023;0.064} for time_tv and {-5.73;1.46} for the constant, but what I care about is how you get there). What is the statistical principle that allows you to calculate these 95% confidence intervals, just by looking at outputs in this table above?
