Age and Manager. The results of the regression analysis are given below:

-Referring to Table 14-17 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) H₀: β₀ ≠ 0
B) H₀: β₁ ≠ 0
C) H₀: β₂ ≠ 0

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In Model 1, Age is the only independent variable, so we need to test the effect of Age on the dependent variable Unemploy while holding constant the effect of all the other independent variables, which in this case there are none. So 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 is H₀: β₁ ≠ 0.
