Listed below are amounts of court income and salaries paid to the town justices. All amounts are in thousands of dollars. Construct a scatterplot, find the value of the linear correlation coefficient r, and find the P-value using . Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a linear correlation between court incomes and justice salaries? Based on the results, does it appear that justices might profit by levying larger fines? Court Income

A scatterplot has a horizontal scale labeled “Court Income” from 0 to 1600 in intervals of 200 and a vertical scale labeled “Justice Salary” from 0 to 100 in intervals of 10. Nine points are plotted with approximate coordinates as follows: (40, 18); (60, 30); (120, 26); (160, 26); (260, 60); (280, 48); (400, 46); (1140, 56); (1560, 92).
