1. Kendall Klimek Data Culminating Mr. Rancourt

2. Introduction  Topic: Population vs Transportation Revenues  Purpose: Researching the correlation between population in Canada and revenues made by transportation companies from 1995-2000

3. Introduction  Question: With population steadily rising in all provinces and territories, will revenues in the transportation sector rise also?  Hypothesis: With the increasing population in Canada, citizens will turn to more public modes of transportation, in turn raising revenues for transport.

4. The Variables  Independent Variable: population  Dependent Variable: revenues pulled in by the transportation sector

5. The Results

6. Results Continued...

8. Therefore...  Since the correlation coefficient equalled (.95) we can now say that population and transportation revenues positively correlate, with a strong correlation coefficient. Therefore, I must accept my hypothesis.
