Listed below are annual data for various years. The data are weights (metric tons) of lemons imported from Mexico and U.S. car crash fatality rates per 100,000 population. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a linear correlation between weights of lemon imports from Mexico and U.S. car fatality rates? Do the results suggest that imported lemons cause car fatalities?

Construct a scatterplot, and find the value of the linear correlation coefficient
r. Also find the P-value or the critical values of r from Table A-6 using α = 0.05. Determine whether there is sufficient evidence to support a claim of a linear correlation between the two variables.
