Question

Examine the data table. which shows a list of employees at a company, how many years of higher education they have, and their current salary. Use this table to answer the question. Assuming that the data for all employees follows the same pattern, which kind of relationship is there between years of higher education and current salary?

THE DATA TABLE:

Employee Name Years of High Education Current Salary
Joslyn Smith 6 $81,500
Heather Miller 2 $38,000
Marie Coolidge

a a clustered relationship
b there is no relationship
c a negative correlation
d a positive correlation

Answer 1

Based on the given information, it is not possible to determine the relationship between years of higher education and current salary. The information for Marie Coolidge is missing, and there are only two data points available. Additional data is required to establish any relationship between years of higher education and current salary. Therefore, the answer is (b) there is no relationship.
