Question

In there is a positive correlation between number of years of education an the amount of company pension contributions, which of the following professions would you expect to have the best company pension contributions?
A.police officers, associates degree

B.accountant, bachelors degree

C.lawyers, masters degree

D. Pharmacist, doctorate degree

Answer 1

The correct answer is D.

A positive correlation is a form of statistical association which indicates that two variables tend to move jointly in the same direction.

Therefore, if there is a positive correlation between the number of years of education and the amount of a pension contribution, it means that the more years of education the higher the pension contribution earned by an individual. Therefore the pharmacist who holds a doctorate degree is the person with the highest number of years of education, and the one who should recive the largest pension contribution.
