Using data from 50 workers, a researcher estimates Wage =β
₀ +β
₁Education +β
₂Experience +β
₃Age +ε, where Wage is the hourly wage rate and Education, Experience, and Age are the years of higher education, the years of experience, and the age of the worker, respectively. The regression results are shown in the following table.

a-1.Interpret the point estimate forβ
₁.

multiple choice 1

• 
  
  
  

  As Education increases by 1 year, Wage is predicted to increase by 1.06/hour.

  
  
  
  


• 
  
  
  

  As Education increases by 1 year, Wage is predicted to increase by 0.37/hour.

  
  
  
  


• 
  
  
  

  As Education increases by 1 year, Wage is predicted to increase by 1.06/hour, holding Age and Experience constant.

  
  
  
  


• 
  
  
  

  As Education increases by 1 year, Wage is predicted to increase by 0.37/hour, holding Age and Experience constant.

  As Experience increases by 1 year, Wage is predicted to increase by 0.37/hour, holding Age and Education constant.

  
  
  
  

b.What is the sample regression equation?(Negative values should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

c.Predict the hourly wage rate for a 40-year-old worker with 3 years of higher education and 2 years of experience.(Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
