Oil Quality and Price
Quality of oil is measured in API gravity degrees--the higher the degrees API, the higher the quality. The table shown below is produced by an expert in the field who believes that there is a relationship between quality and price per barrel. $$\begin{array} { | c | c | } \hline \text { Oil degrees API } & \text { Price per barrel (in \$) } \\\hline 27.0 & 12.02 \\28.5 & 12.04 \\30.8 & 12.32 \\31.3 & 12.27 \\31.9 & 12.49 \\34.5 & 12.70 \\34.0 & 12.80 \\34.7 & 13.00 \\37.0 & 13.00 \\41.0 & 13.17 \\41.0 & 13.19 \\38.8 & 13.22 \\39.3 & 13.27 \\\hline\end{array}$$ A partial Minitab output follows:
