question 37

True/False

SCENARIO 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 ( $R _ { \mathrm { y } } ^ { 2 }$ (All raiables excopt $j$ ) ) of each of the 6 predictors are, respectively, $0.2807$ , $0.0386,0.0317,0.0141,0.0958$ , and $0.1201$ .

$\begin{array}{lr}\hline{\text { Regression Statistics }} \\\hline \text { Multiple R } & 0.7035 \\\text { R Square } & 0.4949 \\\text { Adjusted R } & 0.4030 \\\text { Square } & \\\text { Standard } & 18.4861 \\\text { Error } & \\\text { Observations } & 40 \\\hline\end{array}$
$\text { ANOVA }$

-Referring to Scenario 17-10 and using both Model 1 and Model 2, there is
insufficient evidence to conclude that the independent variables that are not significant
individually are significant as a group in explaining the variation in the dependent variable at a
5% level of significance?
