IIBA Exam CBDA Topic 1 Question 7 Discussion
Topic #: 1
Based on the results of a recently completed analytics initiative, the Human Resource department for a major department store implemented a change to its hiring practice to address the attrition rates of its sales associates. The new policy stated that candidates applying for sales positions must possess at least 3 years of relevant sales experience to be considered. After implementing the change, attrition rates are 10% higher and management is frustrated. Which of the following could result in this outcome?
Covariance measures the directional relationship between the returns on two assets. A positive covariance means that asset returns move together while a negative covariance means they move inversely. Zero covariance indicates that the returns on the two assets move independently of each other. In the context of a scatter plot, zero covariance is represented by a plot where the points do not show any upward or downward trend but are rather scattered randomly on the graph with no discernible pattern.
Graph 4 displays such a pattern where there is no apparent relationship between the variables on the x and y axes, indicating that there is zero covariance between them.
