1. Since b=0.8(10000/5)=1600 then a=60000-1600*20=28000. Hence the regression equation is: income=1600(yrs_of_tenure) + 28000 2. For unit increase in yrs_of_tenure we can expect income to increase by $1600. The intercept indicates that a tenured faculty member with zero yrs_of_tenure can expect, on average, to earn $28,000. If the data collected includes faculty with zero yrs_of_tenure then the interprettation of the intercept is meaningful. 3. r=0.8 which indicates a positive linear association between income and yrs_of_tenure. Also, 64% of the variation in income is explained by the model.
