Reconsider the previous exercise on age and BMI. We are interested in seeing if there is an association between BMI and age. Th e data from the study can be found in the file Age BMI.
a. Conduct a new simulation analysis with 1,000 repetitions using slope as the statistic. What is your p-value?
b. Using the same null distribution as in part (a), use correlation as the statistic. What is the p-value?
c. Are your two p-values exactly the same? (The two p-values should be the same; they may be just slightly different due to rounding of the statistics.)

Data from previous exercise

Researchers in a clinical study collected information from their subjects at the beginning of the study. Two of the variables were body mass index (BMI) and age. We are interested in seeing if there is an association between BMI and age. Th e data from the study can be found in the file AgeBMI.
