Question 1
Investigators evaluated the effect of education (E1=1 if college or more, E2=1 ifMasters degree or more, E1=E2=0 if less than college), Mother’s Education (M=1 ifcollege or more, 0 otherwise), and age (A, continuous, in years) on employmentstatus (yes/no) using the following Logistic regression model:
Logit= a + B1*E1+B2*E2 + B3*A + B4*M + B5*A*M
SAS was used to create the following estimates:
a= -2, B1=0.2, B2=0.4, B3=0.1, B4=0.3, B5=0.02.
