The correct answers are:
a) There is a positive correlation between salary and employee satisfaction.
b) 92.5
c) There is an increase of 0.0005 in employee satisfaction for each salary increase.
Explanation:
a) There is a positive correlation because as the salary increases, the employee satisfaction also increases.
b) Using the equation of the line of best fit, y=0.0005x+60, we sill substitute 65000 in for x:
y=0.0005(65000)+60 = 32.5+60 = 92.5.
c) 0.0005 is the slope of this equation. Slope is rate of change of a line, and is represented as rise over run; the rise in this case is the increase in employee satisfaction and the run is the increase in salary.
