Do larger universities tend to have more property crime? University crime statistics are affected by a variety of factors. The surrounding community, accessibility given to outside visitors, and many other factors influence crime rate. Let x be a variable that represents student enrollment (in thousands) on a university campus, and let y be a variable that represents the number of burglaries in a year on the university campus. A random sample of n = 8 universities in California gave the following information about enrollments and annual burglary incidents.

x	10.5	30.2	24.5	14.3	7.5	27.7	16.2	20.1
y	28	78	39	23	15	30	15	25

This answer has not been graded yet.

(b)Use a calculator to verify that (x) = 151.0, (x²) = 3317.02, (y) = 253, (y²) = 10893 and (x y) = 5623.0. Compute r. (Enter a number. Round to 3 decimal places.) As x increases, does the value of r imply that y should tend to increase or decrease? Explain your answer.Given our value of r, y should tend to decrease as x increases.Given our value of r, we can not draw any conclusions for the behavior of y as x increases. Given our value of r, y should tend to increase as x increases.Given our value of r, y should tend to remain constant as x increases.
