Listed below are the overhead widths (in cm) of seals measured from photographs and the weights (in kg) of the seals. Construct a scatterplot, find the value of the linear correlation coefficient r, and find the critical values of r using α=0.05. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a linear correlation between overhead widths of seals from photographs and the weights of the seals?

A. Construct a scatterplot
The linear correlation coefficient r is _______ (Round to three decimal places as needed.
The critical values are r = __________ (Round to three decimal places as needed. Use a comma to separate answers as needed.)
Because the absolute value of the linear correlation coefficient is _____ than the positive critical value, there _____ sufficient evidence to support the claim that there is a linear correlation between overhead widths of seals from photographs and the weights of the seals for a significance level of α =0.05
