For simple linear regression,the p-value associated with the test for the slope coefficient ________.

A) is usually a value greater than 1
B) will be equal to the Significance F value
C) measures the fit of the regression line to the data
D) explains the variation of the dependent variable around the mean

The p-value associated with the test for the slope coefficient in simple linear regression is used to determine whether the slope is significantly different from zero. This p-value is often compared to the Significance F value in the ANOVA table, which tests the overall significance of the regression model. Both values are related to the hypothesis testing of the model's ability to explain the variation in the dependent variable, but the p-value for the slope specifically tests the null hypothesis that the slope coefficient is equal to zero (indicating no linear relationship between the variables).
