The linear correlation coefficient r is

(Round to three decimal places asneeded.)

The test statistic t is

(Round to three decimal places asneeded.)

TheP-value is

(Round to three decimal places asneeded.)

Because theP-value is less

than the significance level 0.05

0.05, there is

sufficient evidence to support the claim that there is a linear correlation between court incomes and justice salaries for a significance level of alpha

equals

=0.05

0.05.
