To study these relationships, each employee in a simple random sample of 27 employees is interviewed and tested to obtain information concerning morale level and the average number of satisfying extra work social contacts experienced during a week. Whether or not the duties the employee usually performs are appropriate to the job title is also determined. The dependent variable Y is measure of morale, the quantitative independent variable, X1 is average number of social contacts, and the following dummy variable coding is used to quantify the qualitative variable: X2 = 1 if yes, X2 = 0 if no.
