We cannot calculate separate regression analyses; we need the model to examine the interaction of all the IVs. Use the following table provides the data and the SPSS tables are provided for your analysis.
Dependent Variable is Hours Worked (hrs1)
Model 1 Model 2
Education (educ) Unstandardized Coefficient 1.256 Unstandardized Coefficient .954
Significance Level .000 Significance Level .000
Age (age) Unstandardized Coefficient -.439
Significance Level .000
R-Square = .024 Adjusted R-Square = .118
