Multiple Choice

TABLE 17-10
Given below are results from the regression analysis where the dependent variable is the number of weeks a worker is unemployed due to a layoff (Unemploy) and the independent variables are the age of the worker (Age) ,the number of years of education received (Edu) ,the number of years at the previous job (Job Yr) ,a dummy variable for marital status (Married: 1 = married,0 = otherwise) ,a dummy variable for head of household (Head: 1 = yes,0 = no) and a dummy variable for management position (Manager: 1 = yes,0 = no) .We shall call this Model 1.The coefficient of partial determination ( ) of each of the 6 predictors are,respectively,0.2807,0.0386,0.0317,0.0141,0.0958,and 0.1201. Model 2 is the regression analysis where the dependent variable is Unemploy and the independent variables are Age and Manager.The results of the regression analysis are given below:
-Referring to Table 17-10,Model 1,which of the following is the correct alternative hypothesis to test whether being married or not makes a difference in the mean number of weeks a worker is unemployed due to a layoff while holding constant the effect of all the other independent variables?

• A)H₁ : β₁ ≠ 0
• B)H₁ : β₂ ≠ 0
• C)H₁ : β₃ ≠ 0
• D)H₁ : β₄ ≠ 0
