Slope of a Regression Model (Test) Practice Test

A researcher examines whether daily screen time ($x$, hours) predicts number of hours slept ($y$) for 40 randomly selected adults. A regression of sleep on screen time is fit, and a slope test is carried out with $H_0: \beta_1=0$ versus $H_a: \beta_1\neq 0$. The output reports a two-sided p-value of 0.003. At $\alpha=0.01$, the researcher rejects $H_0$. What conclusion is appropriate?

A teacher investigates whether number of absences ($x$) predicts final exam score ($y$) for 22 students and fits a least-squares regression of score on absences. A slope test is performed with $H_0: \beta_1=0$ versus $H_a: \beta_1\neq 0$, and the two-sided p-value is reported as 0.049. Using $\alpha=0.05$, the teacher rejects $H_0$. What conclusion is appropriate?
