Question

What is the solution?

Clearwater Electronics is revising its strategic HR plan and comparing employment needs to the level of sales. The company has recently seen a 30 percent increase in sales, and the salespeople say that they anticipate an increase soon of 70 percent. However, the HR

accurate determination of projected staffing needs?
O A simple linear regression will help the HR director by showing a positive linear relationship between employment, sales, and production.
O A simple linear regression will help the HR director by comparing all parameters of the relationship between sales and other functions of the business.
O A simple linear regression will help the HR director by looking at the cause-and-effect relationship between sales and employees' production.
O A simple linear regression will help the HR director by correlating the relationship between past staffing needs and sales to determine the number of employees to hire.
