Correlation

In the scenario below, this is an application of regression and
correlation analysis. We have years of service and salary range. Which
is the independent variable and which is the dependent variable? How do
you tell the difference?

The provost at Aluacha Balaclava College wants to look at the faculty
salary data in some other ways. She has collected data on salary, years
of service, rank, school, gender, and tenure. A sample of the data is
