If you worked at a job for 9.00/hour, what type of correlation is the number of hours worked and your take-home pay?

There is a linear correlation between the number of hours worked and take-home pay. And more exactly, a direct proportionality.

Explanation:

From statement we deduce that amount of hours worked () (Independent variable, measured in hours) is directly proportional to take-home pay () (dependent, measured in monetary units), since proportionality ratio is constant and, therefore, there exists a linear correlation between both variables. That is:

(Eq. 1)

Where is the proportionality ratio, measured in monetary units per hour. If we know that , then the resulting correlation is:

There is a linear correlation between the number of hours worked and take-home pay.
