A researcher compiled data from 50 randomly selected cities on the number of patients admitted to hospitals in each city in a given year and the number of deaths in each city that year. The sample correlation measure, r, between the number of patients admitted to hospitals and the number of deaths was found to be 0.24. a. Does the evidence support the hypothesis that there is a significant positive correlation between the number of patients admitted to hospitals and the number of deaths? b. Does the above evidence imply that more hospitalizations cause more deaths? Explain
