Lovely Lawns, Inc., intends to use sales of lawn fertilizer to predict lawn mower sales. The store manager estimates a probable six-week lag between fertilizer sales and mower sales. The pertinent data are:

Period	Fertilizer Sales	Number of Mowers Sold
1	1.9	12
2	1.6	11
3	1.7	11
4	1.9	12
5	2.1	14
6	1.8	12
7	1.9	12
8	1.7	12
9	1.5	12
10	1.1	8
11	1.8	13
12	1.7	11
13	1.6	12
14	1.5	10
