a. Dependent Variable: Number of Complaints |
What proportion of variation in the number of complaints can be explained by hourly wages?
From the results shown above, write the regression equation.
If wages were increased by $1.00, what is the expected effect on the number of complaints received per employee?
The current minimum wage is $5.15. If an employee earns the minimum wage, how many complaints can that employee expect to receive?
Is the regression coefficient statistically significant? How can you tell?
