## Pearson's product-moment correlation
##
## data: hr$satisfaction_level and hr$average_montly_hours
## t = -2.4556, df = 14997, p-value = 0.01408
## alternative hypothesis: true correlation is not equal to 0
## 95 percent confidence interval:
## -0.036040356 -0.004045605
## sample estimates:
## cor
## -0.02004811
The p-value is greater than alpha (0.01) therefore we retain the Ho and conclude that there is no correlation between satisfaction and avg monthly hours
The amount of hours has no effect on employee satisfaction

## Pearson's product-moment correlation
##
## data: hr$satisfaction_level and hr$last_evaluation
## t = 12.933, df = 14997, p-value < 2.2e-16
## alternative hypothesis: true correlation is not equal to 0
## 95 percent confidence interval:
## 0.08916727 0.12082195
## sample estimates:
## cor
## 0.1050212
The p-value is less than alpha (0.01) therefore we reject the Ho and conclude that there is a small and positive correlation between satisfaction and last evaluation
As last evaluation increases, satisfaction level increases, slightly

## data: hr$satisfaction_level and hr$time_spend_company
## t = -12.416, df = 14997, p-value < 2.2e-16
## alternative hypothesis: true correlation is not equal to 0
## 95 percent confidence interval:
## -0.11668153 -0.08499948
## sample estimates:
## cor
## -0.1008661
The p-value is less than alpha (0.01) therefore we reject the Ho and conclude that there is a small and positive correlation between satisfaction and time spent at the company
As time spent at company increases, satisfaction level increases, slightly

## data: hr$satisfaction_level and hr$promotion_last_5years
## t = 3.1367, df = 14997, p-value = 0.001712
## alternative hypothesis: true correlation is not equal to 0
## 95 percent confidence interval:
## 0.009605315 0.041591949
## sample estimates:
## cor
## 0.02560519
The p-value is less than alpha (0.01) therefore we reject the Ho and conclude that there is a small and positive correlation between satisfaction and time spent at the company
As promotion increases, satisfaction level increases, slightly
