You wish to determine if there is a negative linear correlation between the age of a driver and the number of driver deaths. The following table represents the age of a driver and the number of driver deaths per 100,000. Use a significance level of 0.01 and round all values to 4 decimal places. Driver Age Number of Driver Deaths per 100,000 55 20 38 21 80 32 35 20 54 29 80 31 74 79 60 18 Ho: p = 0 Ha: p=0 Find the Linear Correlation Coefficient Find the p-value p-value = The p-value is Greater than o Less than (or equal to) a The p-value leads to a decision to Do Not Reject Ho Accept Ho Reject Ho The conclusion is There is a significant positive linear correlation between driver age and number of driver deaths. There is a significant negative linear correlation between driver age and number of driver deaths. There is a significant linear correlation between driver age and number of driver deaths. There is insufficient evidence to make a conclusion about the linear correlation between…

A manufacturer of exercise equipment wanted to collect data on the effectiveness of their equipment. A magazine article compared how long it would take men and women to burn 200 calories during light or heavy workouts on various kinds of exercise equipment. The results summarized in the accompanying table are the average times for a group of physically active young men and women whose performances were measured on a representative sample of exercise equipment. Assume normality of the population. Complete parts (a) through (c) below. Click the icon to view the data table.
