In anthropological studies, an important characteristic of fossils is cranial capacity. Frequently skulls are at least partially decomposed, so it is necessary to use other characteristics to obtain information about cranial capacity. One measure that has been used is the length of the lambda-opisthion chord. An article reported the accompanying data forn = 7Homo erectus fossils.

























x (chord length in mm)
78747882858687

y (capacity in cm3)
8507757509759151,0151,030


Suppose that from previous evidence, anthropologists had believed that for each 1 mm increase in chord length, cranial capacity would be expected to increase by
20 cm3.

Do the data given here strongly contradict prior belief? Use a 0.05 level of significance.

Calculate the test statistic find the P- value. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)


t =



P-value =
