Question

Hurricane Rate The data in Hurricanes contains the number of hurricanes that made landfall on the eastern coast of the United States over the 101 years from 1914 to 2014. Suppose we are interested in testing whether the number of hurricanes is increasing over time.

State the null and alternative hypotheses for testing whether the correlation between year and number of hurricanes is positive, which would indicate the number of hurricanes is increasing. Your answer should be an expression composed of symbols:=,≠,<,>,μ,μ1,μ2,p,p1,p2,0,ρ,p^,p^1,p^2,r.
