The percentage of employees who cease their employment during a year is referred to as employee turnover, and it is a serious issue for businesses. The following table shows the cost, in millions of dollars, to a certain company for a given employee turnover percentage in a year.
E = employee turnover | 10 | 20 | 30 | 40 |
---|---|---|---|---|
C = cost | 250 | 390 | 530 | 670 |
Find a linear model for the data.
C(E) =
(d)
Use the result from part (c) to find the cost to the company if employee turnover is 39% in a year.

What is the statistical relationship shown in the table and list out 3 characteristics of this relationship?arrow_forwardThe idea of a large, stable middle class (defined as those with annual household incomes in 2010 between $42,000 and $126,000 for a family of three), is central to America's sense of itself. But the U.S. middle class shrank steadily from 61% of all adults in 1971 (t = 0) to 51% in 2011 (t = 4), where t is measured in decades. Research has shown that this decline was approximately linear.† (a) Find a linear function f(t) giving the percentage of middle-income adults in decade t, where t = 0 corresponds to 1971.
