**Title: Analyzing Court Income and Justice Salaries**

Listed below are amounts of court income and salaries paid to the town justices. All amounts are in thousands of dollars. Construct a scatterplot, find the value of the linear correlation coefficient \( r \), and find the P-value using \( \alpha = 0.05 \). Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a linear correlation between court incomes and justice salaries? Based on the results, does it appear that justices might profit by levying larger fines?

| Court Income       | 660 | 404 | 1586 | 1131 | 771 | 540 | 1130 | 1534 | 320   |
|--------------------|-----|-----|------|------|-----|-----|------|------|-------|
| Justice Salary     | 30  | 43  | 54   | 55   | 56  | 36  | 28   | 15   | 18    |

### Hypotheses:
- \( H_1: \rho < 0 \)
- \( H_1: \rho = 0 \)

### Construct a Scatterplot:
Choose the correct graph below.

- **Graph A:**
  - **Scatter Placement**: Points are tightly clustered, indicating a likely correlation.
  - **Axis Labels**: Court Income on X-axis and Justice Salary on Y-axis.
  
- **Graph B:**
  - **Scatter Placement**: Points are loosely spread with no clear pattern.
  - **Axis Labels**: Court Income on X-axis and Justice Salary on Y-axis.
  
- **Graph C:**
  - **Scatter Placement**: Points show a downward trend.
  - **Axis Labels**: Court Income on X-axis and Justice Salary on Y-axis.
  
- **Graph D:**
  - **Scatter Placement**: Points somewhat evenly spaced horizontally.
  - **Axis Labels**: Court Income on X-axis and Justice Salary on Y-axis.

**Correct choice: Graph C**

### Calculations:

1. **Linear Correlation Coefficient \( r \):**
   - \( r = -0.86 \) (Round to three decimal places as needed.)

2. **Test Statistic \( t \):**
   - Value to be determined and filled in provided space.

3. **P-value:**
   - \( p = 0.0027 \) (Round
