Amount of bonus (in lacs) received by an employee and 3. Employee effectiveness score (on the scale of 1 to 10). Survey results for last two years are given below for the same seven employees.
| Employee | Training Days (Survey 1) | Bonus (Survey 1) | Training Days (Survey 2) | Bonus (Survey 2) | Effectiveness Score (Survey 1) | Effectiveness Score (Survey 2) |
