Table 4 records the hourly wage rate (in U.S. Dollars), education (in years) , and experience (in years) for a random sample of 10 individuals. The wage rate is assumed to be a linear function of the education and experience for an individual. The wage rate equation is given as: W₁ B1 +₂Ei + B3X₁ + Ui where W is the wage rate, E is education, X is experience, u is a random error term, and i indexes the individual.
