EXP is the experience of teachers in years of a full-time teaching

a. What is the t-ratio for EXP? Does it indidcate that experience is a statistically significant determinant of salary if a 95 percent confidence level is desired?
b. What percentage of the variation in salary is explaned by this model?
c. Determine the point estimate of salary for a teacher with 20 years of experience.
d. What is the approximate 95 percent confidence interval for your point estimate from part (c)?
