question 202

Short Answer

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, what are the lower and upper limits of the 95% confidence interval estimate for the effect of a one year increase in education received on the mean number of weeks a worker is unemployed due to a layoff after taking into consideration the effect of all the other independent variables?

Definitions:

Dependent Variable

A variable in an experiment or model that is expected to change in response to changes in other variables.

Independent Variable

Factors in an experiment that are deliberately changed to test their impact on outcomes, observed through changes in the dependent variable.

Mean Square Error

A metric used to measure the average of the squares of the errors, indicating the discrepancy between estimated and actual values.

Dependent Variable

In a study or experiment, this is the variable anticipated to vary as a result of alterations in the independent variable.
