You are a management analyst in the Police Department. You want to test the proposition


Question: Question 6: You are a management analyst in the Police Department. You want to test the proposition that a community with an overworked police department is likely to suffer a declining quality of police services, including deteriorating response times to emergencies. Using data from the ten cities in the table below, create a scatterplot and draw a regression line to test your proposition. (Remember, a police department receiving lots of calls is not overworked if it has enough officers to handle these calls.) What do your scatterplot and regression line suggest?

NOTE: for this analysis- you do not have to walk through all of the assumptions and check for normalcy etc. Just take the data as-is and do plot and the regression, report your findings.
