(White employees were coded as 0 and Non-White employees were coded as 1.) Annual Salary = -17,472 * Non-White + 48,253 (The p-value for the coefficient of Non-White is 0.01.) How can the relationship between race and annual salary be interpreted? A.) White employees are expected to receive 17,472 dollars more than non-white employees. B.) White employees are expected to receive 17,472 dollars less than non-white employees. C.)There is no meaningful difference in annual salary between white and non-white employees from a statistical point of view. D.) White employees are expected to receive 48,253 dollars more than non-white employees.arrow_forwardIn the Focus Problem at the beginning of this chapter, a study was described comparing the hatch ratios of wood duck nesting boxes. Group I nesting boxes were well separated from each other and well hidden by available brush. There were a total of 463 eggs in group I boxes, of which a field count showed about 280 hatched. Group II nesting boxes were placed in highly visible locations and grouped closely together. There were a total of 812 eggs in group II boxes, of which a field count showed about 274 hatched.
