Question

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 α=0.05. 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?
