Question

Listed below are the overhead widths​ (in cm) of seals measured from photographs and the weights​ (in kg) of the seals. Construct a​ scatterplot, find the value of the linear correlation coefficient​ r, and find the critical values of r using α=0.01. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a linear correlation between overhead widths of seals from photographs and the weights of the​ seals?

Answer 1

Answer:

1.) scatter plot is attached below.

There is no sufficient evidence to support the claim that there is a linear correlation between overhead widths of seals from photographs and the weights of the seals.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data :

Overhead width : 7.2 7.5 9.7 9.3 8.7 8.2

Weight : 119 156 243 200 199 188

The linear correlation Coefficient, R = 0.946

Using the Pvalue calculator for R score ;

Pvalue = 0.0149

Since, Pvalue > Α ; WE fail to reject the Null and conclude that there is no sufficient evidence to support the claim that there is a linear correlation between overhead widths of seals from photographs and the weights of the seals.
