The increase in the number of products is the same for each additional
employee in the plant.
Responses:
Part A:
Part B:
Part C:
- The slope is the annual production per employee
- The y-intercept is the number of units produced before the engagement of employees in production
How can the correlation between the data be found?
The given data
Part A: From the given table, as the number of employees in the plant increases from 0 to 200, the number of products produced increases from 10 to 1,260
Therefore, an increase in the number of employees, increases the number of products produced, which indicates that there is a correlation between the number of employees in the plant and the number of produced yearly.
Part B:
The common difference between the number of products produced is a constant, which is 160 - 10 = 150
The slope of the line joining the first and last point is given as follows;
- [tex]Slope = \dfrac{1210 - 10}{200 - 0} = 6[/tex]
The y-intercept is given as the number of products produced when the number of employees is 0, which is 10.
The function of the data is a linear function.
- The equation is therefore; y = 6·x + 10
Where;
y = The number of products produced yearly
x = The number of employees in the factory
Part C:
- The slope indicates that each additional employee produces 150 units of products annually. The slope is therefore, 150 products per employee.
- The y-intercept indicates the number of produced when there are no employees is 10 units of products
