A manager has computed the correlation between the number of hours of sick leave taken per year

Question:

A manager has computed the correlation between the number of hours of sick leave taken per year and the annual salary for the 200 employees in her company. The hours of sick leave range from 0 to 39, and the correlation coefficient for the two variables is r = -0.19. Suppose the manager has another employee who was not included in the analysis and this employee took 71 hours of sick leave during the year. Discuss whether the correlation computed from the other 200 employees applies to this new employee.
