True/False

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:
-True or False: Referring to Table 17-10,Model 1,the alternative hypothesis H₁ : At least one of β_j ≠ 0 for j = 1,2,3,4,5,6 implies that the number of weeks a worker is unemployed due to a layoff is affected by at least one of the explanatory variables.
