question 44

True/False

SCENARIO 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 ( R ²_j )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:

-Referring to Scenario 15-6,the model that includes X₁,X₂,X₃,X₅ and X₆ should be among the appropriate models using the Mallow's C_p statistic.
