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

question 27

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 all the six independent variables should be among the appropriate models using the Mallow's Cp statistic.

Definitions:

Observed Z Value

The value resulting from a Z-test statistic used in hypothesis testing, representing how many standard deviations an observation is from the mean.

Sample Mean

The average value of a set of numbers in a sample taken from a larger population. It is used to estimate the population mean.

Population Average

The population average is the mean value of a particular characteristic for the entire population, providing a central tendency measure of that characteristic.

Standard Error

The standard deviation of the sampling distribution of a statistic, most commonly of the mean.
