Instruction 13-16
Given Below Are Results from the Regression Analysis

True/False

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,you can conclude that,holding constant the effect of the other independent variables,the number of years of education received has no impact on the mean number of weeks a worker is unemployed due to a layoff at a 10% level of significance if all you have is the information on the 95% confidence interval estimate for ?₂.
