The y-intercept has no practical meaning for this study. The best prediction for an employee who doesn't take any vacation days is that the employee will take 8 sick days. The average number of sick days is predicted to be 8

The following data give the percentage of women working in five companies in the retail and trade industry. The percentage of management jobs held by women in each company is also shown. % Working 67 45 73 54 61 % Management 50 23 63 47 34 (a) Develop a scatter diagram for these data with the percentage of women working in the company as the independent variable. A scatter diagram has 5 points plotted on it. The horizontal axis ranges from 40 to 75 and is labeled: % Working. The vertical axis ranges from 0 to 70 and is labeled: % Management. The first three points are plotted from left to right in an downward, diagonal direction starting in the upper left corner of the diagram. The fourth point extends upward in a diagonal direction to the right. The last point then extends downward from the fourth point in a diagonal direction to the right. The points are between 23 to 63 on the vertical axis.   A scatter diagram has 5 points plotted on it. The horizontal axis ranges…
