Yes. The data may be compatible with the possibility that the first
difference is zero, and compatible with the possibility that the second
difference is zero, but not compatible with the possibility that BOTH
differences are zero. So, at least one of the differences seems to be
non-zero, but the data are insufficient to be sure which one is
non-zero, or to be sure that BOTH are nonzero.
I hope this helps.
Best wishes

Dear everyone,
Can anyone explain me why the t-test statistics for variables in the
model are statistically insignificant but when tested for joint
significance (F-test) they are jointly significant?
Thanks
Natasha
