Question:
3. Bivariate data often arises from the use of two different techniques to measure the same quantity. As an example, the accompanying observations on x
hydrogen concentration (ppm) using a gas chromatography method and y concentration using a new sensor method were read from a graph in the article A New Method to Measure the Diffusible Hydrogen Content in SteelWeldments Using a Polymer Electrolyte-Based Hydrogen Sensor (Welding Res., July 1997: 251s—256s).

Does there appear to be a very strong relationship between the two types of concentration measurements? Do the two methods appear to be measuring roughly the same quantity?
Explain your reasoning.
