## Pearson's product-moment correlation
##
## data: hr$time_spend_company and hr$satisfaction_level
## 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 slight, negative correlation between time spent at the company and satisfaction level.
As time spent at the company increases, satisfaction level decreases slightly.
