Question: Trevor’s Used Car Lot has numerous cars with affordable prices. Mr. Trevor asked an advertising firm to develop a “catchy” ad to help him sell more cars. A statistician employed by the ad firm decided to take a random sample of the prices of the cars with each corresponding age. She thought it would be a good way to get started on the commercial. Below is her sampling.

Car # Price of Car Age of Car (in yrs.)
1 $14, 750 2
2 $ 6, 770 6
3 $12, 115 3
4 $17,825 2
5 $ 8,500 5
6 $ 7,000 4
7 $10,250 2
8 $13,450 2
9 $ 9,895 3
10 $ 8,000 4
11 $10,125 1
12 $16,500 1
13 $ 5,500 4
14 $ 6,850 3
15 $ 15,000 2

The correlation coefficient is -0.70015
