Real Estate World: Real Estate World is trying to improve their selection process for hiring real estate agents. A successful real estate agent, according to the company, is one that can sell a minimum of 50 houses per year. The company believes that the key to successful real estate is perseverance. To test this hypothesis the company administers The Perseverance Assessment (TPA) to 75 applicants holding a proper real estate license. The company hires all of the applicants that scored higher than 3 on the TPA and gives all of them one year to see how they perform on the job. Given below are applicant scores on the TPA as well as how many houses each sold in the year. Answer the questions that follow.
TPA score # houses sold in the year
9 79 61 61 61 58 56 56 50 48 47
8 69 65 64 63 59 56 50 50 50 49 45 44 42 41 31
7 72 66 56 55 54 53 52 51 51 51 50 43 42 33 21
6 62 61 60 59 52 49 48 45 44 43 42 40 40 29 20
5 55 52 51 50 50 43 41 33 29 18
