Company officials wish to study what causes defective products to be produced. They have identified several factors that may influence the number of defects positively and negatively. They believe the number of defective parts a production worker produces each week is dependent on the hours of training they received over the years. They have randomly selected 5 workers and have looked at their hours of training and the number of defects each produced in a week.
