Critics of television often refer to thedetrimental effects that all the violence shown ontelevision has on children. However, there maybe another problem. It may be that watching television also reduces the amount of physical exercise, causing weight gains.

The following regression estimates show the relationship between the number of kilograms (in kgs) a child is overweight by, and the number of hours of television viewing per week

overweight=0.55+0.13 hours(0.27)(0.04)

Standard errors are shown in the brackets. The sample size is N=1800

We want to test the hypothesis that the population slope parameter equals to 0. Suppose we obtained a t-statistic that is small such that we do not reject the null hypothesis.

Is this statement true or false: "There is a positive relationship between TV viewing and being overweight."
