A researcher wanted to predict academic achievement using Intelligence Test-A (IT-A), Intelligence Test-B (IT-B), Type of school (rural/urban), and conscientiousness as predictors. She used multiple regression analysis. She collected data on 200 students on all variables. The OLS estimator was used. The F = 8.9, p < .01 for the entire model. In individual predictor analysis, IT-B was the insignificant predictor. The suitable test indicated homoscedasticity. The model R² = 0.64 and adjusted R² = 0.59. Both intelligence tests are significantly correlated with the criterion variable and with each other.

Q1.

Which of the following is the reason for insignificance of IT-B?
