Each year a market research company surveys new car owners 90 days after they purchase their cars. This data is used to rate auto brands (such as Toyota and Ford) on quality and customer satisfaction. Suppose the following were the quality rating and satisfaction scores for 30 brands sold in the United States.

(a)
Construct a scatterplot of y = satisfaction rating versus x = quality rating.
A scatterplot has 30 points.The horizontal axis is labeled "x" and has values from 35 to 85. The vertical axis is labeled "y" and has values from 740 to 885.
The points are plotted in an upward curved pattern starting in the bottom left corner of the diagram and ending in the upper right corner of the diagram.
There is only a small amount of variation about the trend.
