The оwner оf а mid-sized business is interested in leаrning hоw vаcation time taken affects employee satisfaction at mid-sized companies in the U.S. He uses U.S. Census data to identify all businesses in the country that meet the definition of mid-sized. From this list, he randomly selects 10 businesses, and then randomly selects employees from these businesses to complete a survey. The methodology ensured that each employee at a mid-sized business was equally likely to be selected for the survey. The survey asks the employees how much vacation time they took last year, and to rate their satisfaction. The owner's goal for the survey is to determine whether more vacation time taken increases employee satisfaction at mid-sized companies in the U.S. What is the explanatory variable in this study?
