Refer to the previous exercise about the association between maximum speed and maximum height of roller coasters.
Question:
Refer to the previous exercise about the association between maximum speed and maximum height of roller coasters. Recall that the data file Rollercoasters contains data on the maximum speed (miles per hour) and the maximum height (feet) for each of a sample of roller coasters in the U.S.
a. Enter the data into the Corr/Regression applet and conduct a simulation-based test of significance. Report the approximate p-value.
b. Interpret the p-value reported in part (a).
c. Summarize your conclusion (significance, causation, generalizability) from this simulation analysis. Also describe the reasoning process by which your conclusion follows from your simulation results.
Data from previous exercise
The data file RollerCoasters contains data (collected from www.rcdb.com) on the maximum speed (miles per hour) and the maximum height (feet) for each of a sample of roller coasters in the U.S. Enter the data into the Corr/ Regression applet.
