Construct a scatterplot, find the value of the linear correlation coefficient r, and find the critical values of r from Table A-6 using ?? =0 .05. Determine whether there is sufficient evidence to support a claim of a linear correlation between the two variables. (Save your work because the same data sets will be used in Section 10-3 exercises.)
BaseballListed below are baseball team statistics consisting of the proportions of wins and the result of this difference: Difference = (number of runs scored) - (number of runs allowed). The statistics are from a recent year, and the teams are NY (Yankees), Toronto, Boston, Cleveland, Texas, Houston, San Francisco, and Kansas City. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a linear correlation between the proportion of wins and the above difference?
