In this era of tough economic conditions, voters increasingly ask the question: "Is the educational achievement level of students dependent on the amount of money the state in which they reside spends on education?" The partial computer output below is the result of using spending per student ($) as the independent variable and composite score which is the sum of the math, science, and reading scores as the dependent variable on 35 states that participated in a study. The table includes only partial results.

?

Referring to Table, the conclusion on the test of whether composite score depends linearly on spending per student using a 10% level of significance is that

		A.there is enough evidence that composite score does not depend linearly on spending per student.
		B.there is enough evidence that the composite score depends linearly on spending per student.
		C.there is not enough evidence that the composite score depends linearly on spending per student.
		D.there is not enough evidence that the composite score does not depend linearly on spending per student.
