Results & Discussion

***Given the results, we can conclude that there is a negative correlation between performance ratings
and the number of sick days taken in a year

- The results demonstrated a significant negative relationship between performance and the number of
sick days taken
- Given the general trend, it’s safe to infer that this data can be extrapolated to the overall organization

Recommendation - The organization should attempt to discourage unwarranted sick days, in order to
maintain higher performance levels.
