He took a sample of 20 employees and obtained the following Microsoft Excel output:
$\text {SUMMARY OUTPUT}$
$\begin{array}{ll}\hline \text { Regression Statistics } \\\hline \text { Multiple R }& 0.992 \\ \text { R Square} & 0.984 \\ \text { Adjusted R Square} & 0.979 \\ \text { Standard Error }& 2.26743 \\ \text { Observations} & 20 \\\hline\end{array}$
