Essay

Use the data in the table to answer the question. The x-values are amounts of saturated fat (in grams) in various
regular two-ounce muffins. The y-values are amounts of saturated fat (in grams) in various "low fat"
two-ounce muffins. $$\begin{array}{l}\text { Amounts of Saturated Fat in Regular and Low-Fat Muffins }\\\begin{array} { | c | c c c c c c | } \hline \mathrm { x } & 3.7 & 4.9 & 4.3 & 6.4 & 4.2 & 4.5 \\\hline \mathrm { y } & 1.2 & 2.1 & 2.2 & 1.9 & 1.4 & 2.4 \\\hline\end{array}\end{array}$$ Is each x-value matched with a corresponding y-value? That is, is each x-value associated with the
corresponding y-value in some meaningful way? If the x- and y-values are not matched, does it make sense to
use the difference between each x-value and the y-value that is in the same column?
