Question

SCENARIO 17-10 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.
