Using Linear Regression Least Squares method correlate the Total Employees $($Exhibit $7$; use Total

Employees data for $1986,1987$ and $1988$ as the demand y value$)$ to the Total Sales of Meters &

Systems data $($Exhibit $5$; use total sales figures for $1986,1987$ and $1988$ in thousands of dollars eg;

$$234,360$ will be entered as $234).$ Based on this correlation what should Dabneys employment level be

over the next $3$ years if Total sales are expected to be $$295,000,$ $$305,000$ and $$307,000$ respectively?

What are your recommendations regarding hiring based on this correlative model?
