## 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
Therefore we reject the null hypothesis and say there is a positive correlation between last evulation and satisfaction level
Happier employees are evaluated better.

The p‑value tests whether the correlation between monthly hours and evaluation scores is statistically significant
Employees who work more hours tend to receive higher evaluation scores.

The p‑value shows whether the relationship between years at the company and number of projects is statistically meaningful.
Employees who have been with the company longer tend to have worked on more projects.

## 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 determines whether the correlation is significant.
Employees who work more hours tend to be less satisfied. More time at work appears connected to lower happiness.
