During the first four games played by the Mudville All-Stars, the number of points scored and the number of times they punted were as shown in Table 2.2. Announcer Frank Albert has just taken a statistics course and observes that there is a negative relationship between points scored and punts. He reasons that a decrease in punts will lead to an increase in points scored; therefore, a football team should never punt. What is wrong with this logic?
