Problem # 2

2. A study was made on the amount of converted sugar in a certain process at

various temperatures. The data were coded and recorded as follows:

x Sugar, y x Sugar, y
1.0 8.1 1.6 8.6
1.1 7.8 1.7 10.2
1.2 8.5 1.8 9.3

Problem #3

3. A mathematics placement test is given to all entering freshmen at a small college.

A student who receives a grade below 35 is denied admission to the regular mathematics
course and placed in a remedial class. The placement test scores and the final grades
for 20 students who took the regular course were recorded as follows:
