Question: Using the data in problem, conduct the hypothesis test for the existence of a linear correlation between the two variables. Use α = 0.01.

Problem: An article in Worth discusses the immense success of one of the world's most prestigious cars, the Aston Martin Vanquish. This car is expected to keep its value as it ages. Although this model is new, the article reports resale values of earlier Aston Martin models over various decades.

Decade:                                  1960s                 1970s                    1980s                     1990s                     2000s

Present value of Aston

Martin model(average):           $180,000              $40,000                 $60,000                  $160,000               $200,000

Based on these limited data, is there a relationship between age and average price of an Aston Martin? What are the limitations of this analysis? Can you think of some hidden variables that could affect what you are seeing in the data?
