Respuesta :

Question (a)
The relationship between satisfaction score and salary is a positive one. The graph shows a positive correlation. It means, the higher the salary, the higher the satisfaction score

Question (b)
We will substitute the value of [tex]x=65000[/tex] into the equation [tex]y=0.0005x+60 = 0.0005(65000)+60=92.5[/tex]

Question (c)
The constant 0.0005 is the increase of satisfactory score by 0.0005 for every pound increase in the salary
