Question: Start the car! In October 2002, Consumer Reports listed the price (in dollars) and power (in cold cranking amps) of auto batteries. We want to know if more expensive batteries are generally better in terms of starting power. Here are several software displays:

a) How many batteries were tested?

b) Are the conditions for inference satisfied? Explain.

c) Is there evidence of an association between the cost and cranking power of auto batteries? Test an appropriate hypothesis and state your conclusion.

d) Is the association strong? Explain.

e) What is the equation of the regression line?

f) Create a 90% confidence interval for the slope of the true line.

g) Interpret your interval in this context.
