The computer-science aptitude score, x, and the achievement score, y (measured by a comprehensive final), were measured for 20 students in a beginning computer-science course. The results were as follows.
x | 5 | 15 | 21 | 12 | 23 | 22 | 16 | 19 | 20 | 17 | 17 | 16 | 7 | 7 | 4 | 21 | 17 | 10 | 18 | 15 |
y | 19 | 19 | 24 | 36 | 27 | 26 | 25 | 28 | 17 | 27 | 21 | 24 | 18 | 18 | 14 | 28 | 21 | 22 | 20 | 21 |
