Question
A clinic manager wishes to find out whether age of her employees has an impact on the number of sick days they take each year. The data for the sample are shown:
Age | 18 | 20 | 58 | 39 | 48 | 26 | 53 |
Day | 16 | 9 | 2 | 10 | 8 | 12 | 7 |
The linear regression equation is given by:
ŷ =−0.223X+17.48 and r2=0.699
- b. Determine the slope.
- c. Determine |r|
- Interpret r :
- Determine critical r value at 5% significance level and determine if there is a significant
linear correlation exists. - Linear Correlation:
- Predict the number of sick days taken of an employee who is 35 years old.
