Fifty-four wild bears wereanesthetized, and then their weights and chest sizes were measured and listed in a data set. Results are shown in the accompanying display. Is there sufficient evidence to support the claim that there is a linear correlation between the weights of bears and their chestsizes? When measuring an anesthetizedbear, is it easier to measure chest size thanweight? Ifso, does it appear that a measured chest size can be used to predict theweight? Use a significance level of =0.05.
