A skin care company has data on the monthly rainfall and the sales of sun screen lotion for the 3 months of June, July, and August for the last 20 years. It has calculated the correlation for the 60 pairs of values. The correlation, r, is –0.310
1. The critical value for testing correlation for this data at a significance level of 0.05 (rounded to 3 decimal places) is:
2. What is the appropriate conclusion for a hypothesis test at a significance level of 0.05 on the correlation of this data, r, using the absolute value of r and the critical value?
A: absolute r < critical value, so the correlation is statistically significant
B: absolute r < critical value, so the correlation is not statistically significant
C: absolute r > critical value, so the correlation is statistically significant
D: absolute r > critical value, so the correlation is not statistically significant
E: absolute r > critical value, proving a direct causal relationship between the variables
3.When doing a hypothesis test on the correlation between two variables X and Y, which one of the following is the best explanation of the meaning of statistically significant?
A: Statistically significant means that X causes Y
B: Statistically significant means that Y causes X
C: Statistically significant means that small changes in X correspond to large changes in Y
D: Statistically significant means that there are no lurking variables
E: Statistically significant means that there is strong evidence that the correlation in the data is not due to chance.

7. 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 alphaequals0.05. 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?

The correlation coefficient r is a sample statistic.
What does it tell us about the value of the population correlation
coefficient ρ (Greek letter rho)? You do not know how to
build the formal structure of hypothesis tests of ρ yet.
However, there is a quick way to determine if the sample evidence
based on ρ is strong enough to conclude that there is some
population correlation between the variables. In other words, we
can use the value of r...
