Opinions are split about a coffee​ company's pumpkin-flavored coffee​ (PFC). Yet every year over the last five years the consumption of​ pumpkin-flavored goods has increased. If we look at the​ numbers, it also becomes clear why a leading coffee company keeps offering the PFC earlier and earlier every year. According to a​ magazine, the amount spent by PFC buyers at the coffee company is about​ 17% higher than​ non-PFC buyers. The accompanying table shows a random sample of eight​ consumers, the amount they spend per​ week, and the number of PFCs purchased per week.     PFC Spending     2 13.88     7 39.11     4 19.79     1 9.84     3 15.43     1 21.52     5 37.39     3 13.85
