Testing for a Linear Correlation. In Exercises 1328, construct a scatterplot, andfind the value of the linear correlation coefficient r. Also find the P-value or the criticalvalues of r from Table A-5 using A = 0.05. Determine whether there is sufficient evidenceto support a claim of a linear correlation between the two variables. (Save your workbecause the same data sets will be used in Section 10-3 exercises.) Campus Crime Listed below are numbers of enrolled students (in thousands) and numbersof burglaries for randomly selected large colleges in a recent year (based on data fromthe New York Times). Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a linear correlationbetween enrollment and burglaries? Do the results change if the actual enrollments are listedas 32,000, 31,000, 53,000, and so on? Enrollment 32 31 53 28 27 36 42 30 34 46Burglaries 103 103 86 57 32 131 157 20 27 161
