bivariate data values for the coffee sales (denoted by
y, in dollars) and the maximum temperature (denoted by
x, in degrees Fahrenheit) for each of sixteen randomly
selected days during the past year are given below. These data are
plotted in the scatter plot in Figure 1. Also given are the
products of the temperature values and coffee sales values for each
of the sixteen days. (These products, written in the column
labelled "xy," may aid in calculations.)
