The following Eviews output From the descriptive statistics, it can be noted that mean income is 19304.83 while number of cigarettes smoked per day coefficient is 15.657 with confidence level of 0.4754. the other variables have their coefficient’s as shown in equation below 7.598age2 The equation shows that when the number of cigarettes are increased log(income) is increased. Looking at p- values of the coefficients only Cigs is not statistically significance using confidence level of 0.05 since 0.4754>0.05 while the remaining variables, which is education, Age square, age are statistically significance since the p-value is 0.00 0.05 while the remaining variables, which is education, Age square, age, white are statistically significance since the p-value is 0.00 Read More
