Hypothesis Testing for the Slope of a Least Squares Regression Line
If the random errors of the simple linear regression are normally distributed, then the sampling distribution of b is normal.
To calculate the estimator of the standard deviation of b, sb , the quantities of Sxx, Sxy , and Syy will be needed.
To test the slope of the regression line β, use the t-distribution with ν = n − 2 degrees of freedom.
