Your task is (1) to examine the relationship between job knowledge and job performance for Hummingbird employees and (2) to evaluate a recent training program implemented in the company. Hummingbird Inc. is an equal opportunity employer. Sixty-two percent of its 1,200 employees are male and 87% are White.

On average, the employees have 7.35 years of experience at the current job. Nineteen percent of the employees have master’s degrees or higher, 21% have college or associate’s degrees, and the rest have high school or vocational-technical school degrees. The company recently implemented a training program targeting job knowledge on machine operation. A hundred machine operators participated in the training program. A job knowledge test was given to these employees at the end of the training program. The scores on the test were correlated with the employees’ job performance measured a month later. The observed correlation was 0.25.
