Multiple Choice

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, which of the following is the correct null hypothesis to test whether age has any effect on the number of weeks a worker is unemployed due to a layoff, while holding constant the effect of all the other independent variables?

Definitions:

Cubed-Root Transformation

A statistical technique used to stabilize variance, make the data more closely conform to a normal distribution, or improve the interpretability of data with skewed distributions.

Log Transformation

A mathematical operation that replaces a variable with the logarithm of that variable to help normalize data or manage skewed distributions.

Arcsin Transformation

A data transformation technique used to stabilize the variance when the data follow a binomial distribution.

Categorical Variable

A variable that can take on one of a limited, and usually fixed, number of possible values, assigning each individual to a particular group or nominal category.
