The Null Hypothesis - H0: γ1 = γ2 = ... = 0 i.e. there is no heteroscedasticity in the model
The Alternative Hypothesis - H1: at least one of the γi's are not equal to zero i.e. the squared residuals are related to one of the independent variables.

Regression Analysis: sqres versus totexp, income, ...
* sqnk is highly correlated with other X variables
* sqnk has been removed from the equation.
The regression equation is

MTB > # Since nrsq = 1519*0.034= 51.6460 > chi=22.360 we have hetero from white test# Also both B-P and White test seem to indicate that totexp is the culprit
Since nrsq = 51.6460 > 22.360 = , there is sufficient evidence to reject H0 which suggests that there is heteroscedasticity in the model from White's general heteroscedasticity test at the 5% significance level. Both Breusch Pagan test and White's general heteroscedasticity test seem to indicate that totexp is the culprit as the T value is significant and the P-value is 0.000.
