regular two-ounce muffins. The y-values are amounts of saturated fat (in grams) in various "low fat"
two-ounce muffins. $$\begin{array}{l}\text { Amounts of Saturated Fat in Regular and Low-Fat Muffins }\\\begin{array} { | c | c c c c c c | } \hline \mathrm { x } & 4.7 & 6.1 & 3.5 & 5.2 & 3.8 & 4.3 \\\hline \mathrm { y } & 1.2 & 2.1 & 0.8 & 1.5 & 1.8 & 2.4 \\\hline\end{array}\end{array}$$ The measured amounts of saturated fat were supplied by the producers of the muffins.

producers to report values that are not accurate?
