1. You are examining the relationships between employee sales and characteristics of employees who work in a call center. You see that years of previous non-manager work experience has a correlation coefficient of r.35 while years of previous managerial experience has a correlation coefficient of r-42. As compared to previous manager work experience, previous non-manager work experience is more highly correlated with employee sales. True False 2. The correlation between number of Ads run and sales is .6 and it...
Suppose a researcher is interested in examining the relationship between a person's gender and whether he or she likes the taste of Vegemite (a dark brown food paste, made from yeast, that is popular in Australia).

A company studied the productivity of their employees on a new information system. They were interested in if the age (X) of data entry operators influenced the number of completed entries made per hour (Y). If the regression equation is = 14.374 + 0.145x. The SD of age is = 14.04, and the SD of the number of completed entries made per hour is = 2.61. What is the correlation coefficient between age and productivity? How to interpret the correlation?...
