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=0.05. 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?

Overhead Width  7.1    7.7   9.8   9.2    8.7  8.3

Weight                 112  204  245  194  198  187

1. Construct a scatterplot graph

2. The linear correlation coefficient r is

3. The critical values are r=

4. Because the absolute value of the linear correlation coefficient is_____than the positive critical​ value, there___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 for a significance level of α=0.05.
