The data below shows the high temperatures and the times (in minutes) runners who won a marathon. Construct a scatterplot, find the value of the linear correlation coefficient r, and find the P-value using alphaα=0.05. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a linear correlation between temperature and winning times?

The linear correlation coefficient r is?
T stat?
P value?
Because the p-value is greater or lesser than the 0.05 significance level there is or isn't sufficient evidence?
Scatter plot is, using Ms-Excel-
Decision:- Here p value is greater than the given level of significance alpha=0.05. hence we accept the null hypothesis. since, There is insufficient evidence to conclude that there is a significant linear relationship between x and y because the correlation coefficient is NOT significantly different from zero.
