3.From the past data the indices were calculated for money in circulation and cost of living. Find if there is any correlation between them supposing that the money circulation affects the cost of living Index of money in circulation: 110, 120, 125, 128, 132, 140, 150 Index of cost of living: 105, 108, 110, 112, 108, 130, 134

the past data the indices were calculated that money in circulation and cost of living are corelated in the following way
Step-by-step explanation:
1.The CPI frequently is called a cost-of-living index, but it differs in important ways from a complete cost-of-living measure. ... A cost-of-living index would measure changes over time in the amount that consumers need to spend to reach a certain utility level or standard of living.
2.The consumer price index is an imperfect measure of the cost of living for the following three reasons: substitution bias, the introduction of new goods, and unmeasured changes in quality. Because of measurement problems, the CPI overstates annual inflation by about 1 percentage point.
3.The three problems in the consumer price index as a measure of the cost of living are: (1) substitution bias, which arises because people substitute toward goods that have become relatively less expensive; (2) the introduction of new goods, which are not reflected quickly in the CPI; and (3) unmeasured quality change.
4.You give annual salary cost of living adjustments, so you raise each employee's wages by 1.5%. So, if you have an employee who earns $35,000 per year, you would add 1.5% to their wages. Due to the cost of living increase of 1.5%, this employee will now earn $35,525.
