Question

True or False: The null hypothesis should be rejected at a 10% level of significance when testing whether age has any effect on the number of weeks a worker is unemployed due to a layoff while holding constant the effect of the other independent variable.

Answer 1

False

Explanation:

The null hypothesis is rejected or accepted on the basis of level of significance. When the p-value is greater than level of significance we fail to reject the null hypothesis and null hypothesis is then accepted. It is not necessary that all null hypothesis will be rejected at 10% level of significance. To determine the criteria for accepting or rejecting a null hypothesis we should also consider p-value.
