Context

Recall the following example: The average gestation period, or time of pregnancy, of an animal, is closely related to its longevitythe length of its lifespan. Data on the average gestation period and longevity (in captivity) of 40 different species of animals have been recorded.

For the Web Apps problem, you will analyze data for 40 species of animals in captivity.

Prompt

In the first question you will produce a scatterplot in Web Apps (withlongevityas the explanatory variable andgestationas the response variable) and then use Web Apps to calculate the correlation coefficient.

Variables

animal:the name of the animal species gestation:the average gestation period of the species, in days longevity:the average longevity of the species, in years

The explanatory variable is average lifespan (longevity.) The response variable is the length of pregnancy (average gestation period.)
