Question 3)
Box plot

Independent samples t-test

The findings from the independent sample t-test indicates that there statistically significant
difference in mean of hourly earnings between the permanent and temporary workers
(t(6338.5) =36.525, P <0.05). This confirms that permanent workers (Mean of group
=29.31579) earn more than temporary workers (Mean of group =21.74403) due to the
varying work conditions of their jobs.

Question 4.
Boxplot

ANOVA Results
An ANOVA test was performed to determine whether hourly earnings vary by
province/region. The results shows that there is statistically significant differences in hourly
earnings by province/region F (4, 24081) = 74.32, P <0.05). This confirms that the hourly
earnings vary by province/region.

Question 5
Scatterplot

Regression analysis
A regression analysis was performed to examine whether there is a significant relationship
between hours of work per week and hourly earnings across workers. The results show that
there is a statistically significant relationship between hours of work per week and hourly
earnings across workers (F(1, 24084) =723.9, P <0.05).
The regression model given the coefficient values is
HRLYEARN =0.231431UTOTHRS +19.619471
Therefore, from
y=bx+ α
The slope (b) from the equation is 0.231431 while the e intercept ¿) is 19.619471. The r2
value from the regression output = 0.02918. Therefore, the r value = sqrt (0.02918) =
0.1708215
