Excel partial outputs corresponding to these models are available and shown below.
Model A: Salary = β₀ + β₁ Educ + β₂ Exper + β₃ Train + β₄ Gender + ε Model B: Salary = β₀ + β₁ Educ + β₂ Exper + β₃ Gender + ε A group of female managers considers a discrimination lawsuit if on average their salaries can be statistically proven to be lower by more than $500 than the salaries of their male peers with the same level of education and experience.Using Model B,what is the alternative hypothesis for testing the lawsuit condition?
