NOTE: ∑x = 126 ∑y=185 ∑x^2=3202 ∑y^2= 4163
1) Determine [Pearson] correlation between numbers of type A and number of type B. Then test to see whether it considerably varies from 0 [use alpha = 5%]. Don't forget to identify the null and alternative hypotheses.
2) Assume that you did a study which found that number of major crimes in cities is positively correlated [p<.001] to number of automobiles driven in city. One reader sent you following note: based on your work, if we want to make cities safer, one way would be to limit number of cars. What would you react?
p<.001 means that result is significant even with alpha = .001. For comparison, p=.05 would point out that result is significant with alpha =.05 BUT not for something smaller such as alpha = .01
