A study looks at the relationship between employee salaryand hours worked at a certain company. The average yearlyemployee salary is $60,000 and has a standard deviation of$5,000. The average number of hours worked per week is42 with a standard deviation of 7 hours. We know that 49%of variation in salary is explained by the variation in hoursworked. If an employee works 50 hours per week, what doyou predict his/her salary to be?
