For a data set of weights (pounds) and highway fuel consumption amounts (mpg) of eight types of automobile, the linear correlation coefficient is found and the P-value is 0.003. Write a statement that interprets the P-value and includes a conclusion about linear correlation.

The P value indicates that the probability of a linear correlation coefficient that is at least as extreme is 0.3% which is not significant (at α = 0.05), so there is insufficient evidence to conclude that there is a linear correlation between weight and consumption. of highway fuel in cars.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that the correlation coefficient shows the relationship between the weights and amounts of road fuel consumption of seven types of car, now the P value establishes the importance of this relationship. If the p-value is lower than a significance level (for example, 0.05), then the relationship is said to be significant, otherwise it would not be so, this case being 0.003 not significant.

The statement would be the following:

The P value indicates that the probability of a linear correlation coefficient that is at least as extreme is 0.3% which is not significant (at α = 0.05), so there is insufficient evidence to conclude that there is a linear correlation between weight and consumption. of highway fuel in cars.

no, because the sides are not congruent

step-by-step explanation:

here's what happens:

1) the graph of f   = x^2 is shifted 2 units to the right.

2) the resulting graph is reflected in the x-axis, so that the parabola now opens down.

3) this final result is transformed up by 5 units.
