Question

Let arr86 be a binary variable equal to 1 if a man was arrested during 1986, and zero
otherwise. You have a dataset of young men from California who were born in 1960 or
1961 and have at least one arrest prior to 1986. You also have data on the proportion of
prior arrests that led to a conviction (pcnv), the average sentence served from prior
convictions in months (avgsen), months spent in prison since age 18 prior to 1986
(tottime), months spent in prison in 1986 (ptime86), and the number of quarters (0 to 4)
that the man was legally employed in 1986 (qemp86). You estimate the following linear
probability model (standard errors are in parentheses):

arr86 = 0.441 - .162pcnv + .0061avgsen - .0023tottime 
            (.017)      (.021)        (.0065)             (.005)

- .022ptime86 - .043qemp86
    (.005)               (.005)

n= 2725
R2=.0474

 

What is the predicted probability if arrest for a man with no prior convictions, so that pcnv, avgsen, tottime, and ptime86 are all zero, who was also employed all four quarters in 1986?
