Multiple Choice

SCENARIO 13-17
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) and a dummy variable for management position (Manager: 1 = yes, 0 = no) .
The results of the regression analysis are given below: $$\begin{array}{l}\begin{array} { l r } \hline { \text { Regression Statistics } } \\\hline \text { Multiple R } & 0.6391 \\\text { R Square } & 0.4085 \\\text { Adjusted R Square } & 0.3765 \\\text { Standard Error } & 18.8929 \\\text { Observations } & 40 \\\hline\end{array}\\\\\text { ANOVA }\\\begin{array} { l r r r r r } \hline &{ \text { df } } & { \text { SS } } & { \text { MS } } &{ \text { F } } & { \text { Significance } F } \\\hline \text { Regression } & 2 & 9119.0897 & 4559.5448 & 12.7740 & 0.0000 \\\text { Residual } & 37 & 13206.8103 & 356.9408 & \\\text { Total } & 39 & 22325.9 & & \\\hline\end{array}\\\\\begin{array} { l r r r r } \hline & \text { Coefficients } & \text { Standard Error } & { t \text { Stat } } & { P \text {-value } } \\\hline \text { Intercept } & - 0.2143 & 11.5796 & - 0.0185 & 0.9853 \\\text { Age } & 1.4448 & 0.3160 & 4.5717 & 0.0000 \\\text { Manager } & - 22.5761 & 11.3488 & - 1.9893 & 0.0541 \\\hline\end{array}\end{array}$$
-Referring to SCENARIO 13-17, which of the following is the correct alternative hypothesis to test whether age has any effect on the number of weeks a worker is unemployed due to a layoff while holding constant the effect of the other independent variable?

• A)H1 : \(\beta\)1 =0
• B)H1 : \(\beta\)1 \(\neq\) 0
• C)H1 : \(\beta\)2 = 0
• D)H1 : \(\beta\)2 \(\neq\) 0
