Using Excel

data -> data analysis -> regression

select cell values for y column $B$1:$B$8 and x-column   $A$1:$A$8

tick on label

1.What is the independent variable (X)?

length of Employment

2.What is the dependent variable (Y)?

Number of Workdays Absent

3.What is the slope of the linear equation?

slope = -0.6852

4.What is the Y intercept of the linear equation?

y-intercept = 7.7407

5.What is the least squares equation for the data?

y^ = 7.7407 - 0.6852 x

6.What is the meaning of a negative slope?

this means as length of employment increase by 1 years, number of workdata Absent decreases

7.What is the standard error of estimate?

standard error = 1.3152

Please give me a thumbs-up if this helps you out. Thank you! :)
