QUESTION 1
A training company wants to know if there is a link between the hours spent in training by a
particular category of employee and their productivity (units produced per day). The following
data was extracted from files of 10 employees.
Employee 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Hours in training 16 36 20 38 40 30 35 22 40 24
Productivity (units produced per day) 45 70 44 56 60 48 75 60 63 38
1.1 Draw a scatter plot of the data on the grid provided in the ANSWER BOOK. (3)
1.2 Determine the equation of the least squares regression line. (3)
1.3 Draw the least squares regression line on the scatter plot drawn in QUESTION 1.1. (2)
1.4 Use the least squares regression line to predict the productivity (units produced per day),
if a particular category of employee spent 25 hours in training. (2)
1.5 Determine the correlation coefficient of the data. (1)
1.6 Comment on the strength of relationship between the hours spent in training and the
number of units produced per day. (1)
