Answer :

Answer:

(C)Educated people have higher savings than those who are not educated

Step-by-step explanation:

The model which is used to determine the annual savings of an individual on the basis of his annual income and education is given below:

[tex]Savings = \beta_0+\delta_0 Edu + \beta_1Inc+u[/tex]

The variable "Edu" takes a value of 1 if the person is educated. The coefficient [tex]\delta_0[/tex] measures the impact of education on a certain individual’s annual savings. If [tex]\delta_0[/tex]>0, it has a positive impact. Therefore, educated people should have higher savings than those who are not educated.
