Question
A trainer was asked to give a lecture on population profiles in different Local Authorities (LAs) in
the UK Using data from the 2011 census, he created the following scatter diagram for 17 selected
LAs.
17 Selected Local Authorities

Proportion aged 65+
He selected the 17LAS using the following method. The proportions of people aged 18 to 24 and
aged 65+ in any Local Authority are denoted by Pyoung and Pior Tespectively. The trainer used a
spreadsheet to calculate the value of k = for each of the 348 LAs in the UK. He then used
specific ranges of values of k to select the 17 LAs.
(a) Estimate the ranges of values of k that he used to select these 17 LAs.
(b) Using the 17 LAs the trainer camied out a hypothesis test with the following hypotheses.
H: There is no linear correlation in the population between Pyoung
H. There is negative linear correlation in the population between P,
and Pserior

and P.
senior
He found that the value of Pearson's product-moment correlation coefficient for the 17 LAs
is -0.797, corect to 3 significant figures.
@ Use the table on page 9 to show that this value is significant at the 1% level.
The trainer concluded that there is evidence of negative linear correlation between P,
Penior in the population.

(i) Use the diagram to comment on the reliability of this conclusion.
