question 16

True/False

TABLE 15-6
Given below are results from the regression analysis on 40 observations where the dependent variable is the number of weeks a worker is unemployed due to a layoff (Y)and the independent variables are the age of the worker (X₁),the number of years of education received (X₂),the number of years at the previous job (X₃),a dummy variable for marital status (X₄: 1 = married,0 = otherwise),a dummy variable for head of household (X₅: 1 = yes,0 = no)and a dummy variable for management position (X₆: 1 = yes,0 = no).
The coefficient of multiple determination ( )for the regression model using each of the 6 variables X_j as the dependent variable and all other X variables as independent variables are,respectively,0.2628,0.1240,0.2404,0.3510,0.3342 and 0.0993.
The partial results from best-subset regression are given below:
-True or False: Referring to Table 15-6,the variable X₄ should be dropped to remove collinearity.
