Question 2

Choose the correct statement: a. The probability of working in the government depends on being a male in column (6) but not in column (7). O b. The probability of working in the government depends on being a male in column (7) but not in column (6). C. According to column (6), the probability that the government hires a woman is 5 percentage points higher than the probability of hiring a man and this difference is significant at the 5% level. O d. The probability of working in the government does not depend on being a male in either of column (6) or column (7). O e. The probability predicted by column (3) is between 0 and 1 regardless of years of schooling.700 income-earning individuals from a district were randomly selected and asked whether they were employed by the government (Gov = 1) or failed their entrance test (Gov = 0) data were also collected on their gender (Male = 1) if male and = 0 if female) and their years of schooling (Schooling, in years). The following table summarizes several estimated models. (Standard errors are in parentheses).
