t-stat for AR model -CFAI Text Q 17

Hello, just refering to the AR model presented in question 17 pg 416 of Vol 1 CFA text. Why is the model correctly specified when the t-stat for lag 1 is 0.875 which isless than the t critical of 2? Would we conclude that Lag 1 is not significant and exclude it from the model?

Post question…
