Question

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?

Lemon_Imports_(x) Crash_Fatality_Rate_(y)
232                           15.9
266                           15.6
357                           15.5
481                           15.3
532                           14.8

The test statistic is

The​ P-value is?

Because the​ P-value is ▼ less greater than the significance level 0.05​, there ▼ is not is sufficient evidence to support the claim that there is a linear correlation between lemon imports and crash fatality rates for a significance level of α=0.05.

Do the results suggest that imported lemons cause car​ fatalities?
 
 
A.
The results suggest that imported lemons cause car fatalities.
 
B.
The results suggest that an increase in imported lemons causes car fatality rates to remain the same.
 
C.
The results do not suggest any​ cause-effect relationship between the two variables.
 
D.
The results suggest that an increase in imported lemons causes in an increase in car fatality rates.
