In order to determine whether a company should encourage its employees to live close to work, an efficiency expert collects data on the number of latenesses per month and the number of miles an employee lives from work. The relationship is given in the accompanying scatter diagram. From this scatter diagram, describe the relationship between miles from work and number of late nesses. Will the use of a regression line be helpful in estimating this relationship?
