Instruction 13-16
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.

-Referring to Instruction 13-16 Model 1,which of the following is the correct alternative 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?

• A)H₁: ?₁ ? 0
• B)H₁: ?₂ ? 0
• C)H₁: ?₄ ? 0
