The following data is taken from a sample of government employees, and contains the number of years of experience and the current annual salary (in thousands of $).

Suppose we wish to use years of experience to predict an employee's annual income. Which variable is the dependent variable? Which one is the independent variable?The dependent variable y is ---Select--- annual income (in thousands of dollars) years of experience , and the independent variable x is ---Select--- annual income (in thousands of dollars) years of experience .

Determine the least squares estimated regression equation. =

Predict the annual income of an employee with one year of experience. Give your answer in dollars.$

Use a t-test to test if the relationship between years of experience and income is statistically significant at the 0.05 level of significance.State the null and alternative hypotheses.H₀: ₁ = 0 H_a: ₁ 0H₀: ₀ 0 H_a: ₀ = 0 H₀: ₁ 0 H_a: ₁ < 0H₀: ₁ 0 H_a: ₁ = 0H₀: ₀ = 0 H_a: ₀ 0Find the value of the test statistic for the t-test. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)Find the p-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)p-value = What is your conclusion?Do not reject H₀. We cannot conclude that the relationship between years of experience and income is significant.Reject H₀. We conclude that the relationship between years of experience and income is significant. Do not reject H₀. We conclude that the relationship between years of experience and income is significant.Reject H₀. We cannot conclude that the relationship between years of experience and income is significant.

Calculate the coefficient of determination. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

Calculate the sample correlation coefficient between income and years of experience. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

Interpret the value you obtain.The sample correlation coefficient tells us that for individuals in this data set, as their years of experience increase, their annual income tends to ---Select--- decrease increase stay the same .
