The following scatterplot displays the finish time (in minutes) and age (in years) for the male racers at the 2018 Strawberry Stampede (a 10k race through Arroyo Grande).
Below are the same data for the female racers in this year's race.

-The p-value for a simulation-based test of the correlation coefficient for the females is 0.213. We have evidence that there is no association between female ages and female race finish times.

-The p-value for a simulation-based test of the correlation coefficient for the females is 0.213. We have evidence that there is no association between female ages and female race finish times.
