Listed below are annual data for various years. The data are weights(metric tons) of imported lemons and car crash fatality rates per100,000 population. Construct ascatterplot, find the value of the linear correlation coefficientr, and find theP-value using =0.05. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a linear correlation between lemon imports and crash fatalityrates? Do the results suggest that imported lemons cause carfatalities?

5.Do the results suggest that imported lemons cause carfatalities?

A. The results suggest that an increase in imported lemons causes car fatality rates to remain the same.

B. The results suggest that imported lemons cause car fatalities.

C. The results do not suggest anycause-effect relationship between the two variables.

D. The results suggest that an increase in imported lemons causes in an increase in car fatality rates.
