Importance of Graphing. Exercises 1 and 2 provide two data sets from “Graphs in Statistical Analysis,” by F. J. Anscombe, The American Statistician, Vol. 27. For each exercise,
a.Construct a scatterplot.
b.Find the value of the linear correlation coefficient r, then determine whether there is sufficient evidence to support the claim of a linear correlation between the two variables.
c.Identify the feature of the data that would be missed if part (b) was completed without constructing the scatterplot.
