Listed below are amounts of court income and salaries paid to the town justice. 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 α = 0.05. 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? Court Income: 65.0, 402.0, 1567.0, 1132.0, 273.0, 251.0, 112.0, 156.0, 34.0
