She hypothesizes that wealthier employees live outside the city rather than in the city and decides to sample a group of workers from a bank located downtown. She obtains the following data.EARNINGS IN $ (X)MILES TRAVELED TO WORK (Y)33,25084,50066,35058,42545,60067,24077,9005216781410Prediction problem: How far from the city does an employee earning 50,000 live?12) A researcher wants to investigate the relationship between social networks and virtual social networks. She predicts that large virtual networks will be associated with large “real” networks. She develops two networking indices to measure networking that range from 0 to 50. Use the data below to access her hypothesis.VIRTUAL SOCIAL NETWORKING SCORE (X)“REAL SOCIAL NETWORKING SCORE (Y)2532161048221525344120102319372541252618Prediction problem: What is the “real” networking score for a respondent with a virtual networking score of 30?
