TABLE 15-6 Given Below Are Results from the Regression Analysis on 40

question 9

True/False

TABLE 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) for the regression model using each of the 6 variables Xⱼ 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 Table 15-6, the model that includes X₁, X₂, X₃, X₅ and X₆ should be among the appropriate models using the Mallow's Cp statistic.

Definitions:

Gamma Rays

High-energy electromagnetic radiation emitted by radioactive atoms or in nuclear explosions, with significant applications in medical treatment and diagnostics but also potential for harm due to their penetrating power.

Beta Particles

High-energy, high-speed electrons or positrons emitted by certain types of radioactive nuclei as part of their decay process.

Ionizing Radiation

Radiation that carries enough energy to liberate electrons from atoms or molecules, thereby ionizing them.
