The production department of Celltronics International wants to explore the relationship between the number of employees who assemble a subassembly and the number produced. As an experiment, 3 employees were assigned to assemble the subassemblies. They produced 17 during a one-hour period. Then 5 employees assembled them. They produced 28 during a one-hour period. The complete set of paired observations follows.
