Question #4
Listed below are annual data for various years. The data are weights (metric tons) of imported lemons and car crash fatality rates per 100,000 population. Construct a scatterplot , find the value of the linear correlation coefficient r, and find the P-value using α=0.05.Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a linear correlation between lemon imports and crash fatality rates? Do the results suggest that imported lemons cause car fatalities?
