True/False

TABLE 13-17
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.


Model 2 is the regression analysis where the dependent variable is Unemploy and the independent variables are Age and Manager. The results of the regression analysis are given below:


-Referring to Table 13-17 Model 1, the null hypothesis should be rejected at a 10% level of significance when testing whether being married or not makes a difference in the mean number of weeks a worker is unemployed due to a layoff, while holding constant the effect of all the other independent variables.
