Math Problem Statement
A famous researcher observed that chimpanzees hunt and eat meat as part of their regular diet. Sometimes chimpanzees hunt alone, while other times they form hunting parties. The following table summarizes research on chimpanzee hunting parties, giving the size of the hunting party and the percentage of successful hunts. Question content area bottom left Part 1 Numbers of Chimps in Hunting Party Percentage of Successful Hunts 1 17 2 27 3 25 4 39 5 37 6 55 7 42 8 55 9 62 10 60 12 72 13 72 14 77 15 72 16 79 Find the correlation coefficient. Combining this with the answer to part (a), does the percentage of successful hunts tend to increase with the size of the hunting party? requals
