Question

matching \years of experience\ against \annual salary in $000\.
scatterplot with y-axis: annual salary ($000), x-axis: years of experience, trend line equation y = 3.33x + 30.39, r² = 0.93
question 1 (1 point)
the scatterplot suggests that:
○ salaries remain constant regardless of experience
○ salaries increase as years of experience increase
○ there is no relationship between experience and salary
○ salaries decrease as years of experience increase

Explanation:

The scatterplot has a positive - sloped trend line ($y = 3.33x+30.39$) and the data points generally follow an upward pattern as "Years of Experience" (x - axis) increases. This indicates a positive relationship between years of experience and annual salary. So we can see that as years of experience increase, salaries tend to increase. The option "Salaries remain constant regardless of experience" is wrong because the trend line and points show change. "There is no relationship between experience and salary" is wrong as the trend line and points show a relationship. "Salaries decrease as years of experience increase" is wrong as the trend is upward.

Answer:

Salaries increase as years of experience increase
