a. Find the correlation coefficient for this data using a computer or statistical
calculator. Use distance as the x-variable and price as the y-variable.
b. Recalculate the correlation coefficient for this data using price as the x-variable
and distance as the y-variable. What effect does this have on the correlation
coefficient?
A

c. Suppose a $50 security fee was added to the price of each ticket. What effect
would this have on the correlation coefficient?
127
d. Suppose the airline held an incredible sale, where travelers got a round-trip
ticket for the price of a one-way ticket. This means that the distances would be
doubled while the ticket price remained the same. What effect would this have
on the correlation coefficient?
