Essay

A survey conducted by a research team was to investigate how the education level, tenure in current employment, and age, are related to annual income. A sample 20 employees is selected and the data is given below. $\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|}\hline\begin{array}{c}\text { Education (No. of } \\\text { years) }\end{array} & \begin{array}{c}\text { Length of tenure in } \\\text { current } \\\text { employment (No. } \\\text { of years) }\end{array} & \text { Age (No. of years) } & \text { Annual income (\$) } \\\hline 17 & 8 & 40 & 124,000 \\\hline 12 & 12 & 41 & 30,000 \\\hline 20 & 9 & 44 & 193,000 \\\hline 14 & 4 & 42 & 88,000 \\\hline 12 & 1 & 19 & 27,000 \\\hline 14 & 9 & 28 & 43,000 \\\hline 12 & 8 & 43 & 96,000 \\\hline 18 & 10 & 37 & 110,000 \\\hline 16 & 12 & 36 & 88,000 \\\hline 11 & 7 & 39 & 36,000 \\\hline 16 & 14 & 36 & 81,000 \\\hline 12 & 4 & 22 & 38,000 \\\hline 16 & 17 & 45 & 140,000 \\\hline 13 & 7 & 42 & 11,000 \\\hline 11 & 6 & 18 & 21,000 \\\hline 20 & 4 & 40 & 151,000 \\\hline 19 & 7 & 35 & 124,000 \\\hline 16 & 12 & 38 & 48,000 \\\hline 12 & 2 & 19 & 26,000 \\\hline 10 & 6 & 44 & 124,000 \\\hline\end{array}$
