Sixteen transport companies offer a bus transportation from a local city in Croatia, Split, to Croatia’s capital, Zagreb. Croatia’s transportation department wants to estimate whether the number of delays of each company during a six-month period affects the number of passengers traveling between the two cities.

The following data show the number of delays, x, and the number of passengers traveling, y, in (x, y)

pairs for the six month period.

(6; 21,350) (8; 31,200) (9; 40,321) (3; 52,980) (7; 45,970)

(5; 35,900) (8; 36,987) (2; 44,519),

(4; 35 980) (3; 37,500) (8; 43,000) (3; 25,160) (6; 59,329)

(4; 54,000) (2; 42,981) (6; 32,989)

Prepare a scatter plot of the points and comment on the relationship between the number of delays and the number of passengers transported.
