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 alphaαequals=0.050.05. 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?
