True/False

SCENARIO 14-8 A financial analyst wanted to examine the relationship between salary (in $\$ 1,000$ ) and 2 variables: age $\left(X_{1}=\mathrm{Age}\right)$ and experience in the field $\left(X_{2}=\right.$ Exper). He took a sample of 20 employees and obtained the following Microsoft Excel output:

$\begin{array}{lr}\hline {\text { Regression Statistics }} \\\hline \text { Multiple R } & 0.8535 \\\text { R Square } & 0.7284 \\\text { Adjusted R Square } & 0.6964 \\\text { Standard Error } & 10.5630 \\\text { Observations } & 20 \\\hline\end{array}$

$\text { ANOVA }$


$\begin{array}{lrrrrrr} & \text { Coefficients } & \text { Standard Error } & {\text { t Stat }} & \text { P-value } & \text { Lower 95\% } &{\text { O5\% }} \\\hline \text { Intercept } & 1.5740 & 9.2723 & 0.1698 & 0.8672 & -17.9888 & 21.1368 \\\text { Age } & 1.3045 & 0.1956 & 6.6678 & 0.0000 & 0.8917 & 1.7173 \\\text { Exper } & -0.1478 & 0.1944 & -0.7604 & 0.4574 & -0.5580 & 0.2624 \\\hline\end{array}$
Also the sum of squares due to the regression for the model that includes only Age is 5022.0654 while the
sum of squares due to the regression for the model that includes only Exper is 125.9848.
-Referring to Scenario 14-8, the analyst wants to use a t test to test for the
significance of the coefficient of $X _ { 2 }$ . At a level of significance of 0.01, the department head would
decide that $\beta _ { 2 } \neq 0$ .
