Use the following scenario and data when answering questions 36) -> 38):
Fred G. Hire is the manager of human resources at Crescent Tool and Die, Inc. As part ofhis yearly report to the CEO, he is required to present an analysis of the salariedemployees. Because there are over 1,000 employees, he does not have the staff to gatherinformation on each salaried employed, so he selects a random sample of 30 (Fred G. Hireworksheet). For each employee, he records monthly salary; service at Crescent, inmonths; gender (1 = male, 0 = female); and whether the employee has a technical orclerical job. Those working technical jobs are coded 1 and those who are clerical 0.Fred uses excel to fit a multiple regression model using salary as the dependent or Yvariable and the other four variables as independent or X variables. The output appearsbelow. Use this output for question 36) below.
36) The regression model above suggests that for two employees (one male…
Johnson Filtration, Inc. provides maintenance service for water-filtration systems. Suppose that in addition to information on the
