You have estimated the following regression to explain hourly wages, using a sample of
250 individuals: $$\begin{aligned}\text { AHE } _ { i } = & - 2.44 - 1.57 \times \text { DFemme } + 0.27 \times \text { DMarried } + 0.59 \times \text { Educ } + 0.04 \times \text { Exper } - 0.60 \times \text { DNonwhite } \\& ( 1.29 ) ( 0.33 ) \quad \quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad( 0.36 )\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad \quad ( 0.09 ) \quad\quad\quad\quad\quad ( 0.01 )\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad(0.49) \\\\& + 0.13 \times \text { NCentral } - 0.11 \times \text { South } \\& ( 0.59 ) \quad \quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad( 0.58 ) \\\\& R ^ { 2 } = 0.36 , S E R = 2.74 , n = 250\end{aligned}$$
Numbers in parenthesis are heteroskedasticity robust standard errors. Add "*" $( 5 \% )$ and "**" $( 1 \% )$ to indicate statistical significance of the coefficients.
