Question

for a data set of weights (pounds) and highway fuel consumption amount(mpg) pf six tupes of automobile, the linear correlation coefficient os found and the p- value is 0.037. write a statement that interpretes the p- value and includes a conclusion about linear correlation coefficient that is at least as extreme ____% which is_____ so there ______sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a linear correlation between weight and highway fuel consumption in automobiles.

Answer 1

For a data set of weights (pounds) and highway fuel consumption amounts (mpg)of Six types of automobiles, the linear correlation coefficient is found the P-value is 0.037

The P-value indicates that the probability of a linear correlation coefficient is at least as extreme is 3.7% which is LOW so there is sufficient evidence to conclude that there IS sufficient evidence to conclude that their is linear correlation between weight and highway fuel consumption in automobiles.
