Use the data in the table to answer the question The xvalues

Use the data in the table to answer the question. The x-values are amounts of saturated fat (in grams) in various regular two-ounce muffins. The y-values are amounts of saturated fat (in grams) in various \"low fat\" two-ounce muffins.

Amounts of Saturated Fat in Regular and Low-Fat Muffins

x 5.8 4.5 4.2 4.2 4.9 5.8

y 1.2 2.1 1.8 1.2 0.8 1.6

Note that the table lists measured amounts of saturated fat in two different types of muffin. Given these data, what issue can be addressed by conducting a statistical analysis of the values?

Solution

For health reasons, people prefer to buy muffins low in saturated fat. So there will be profit for producers to make the amount of saturated fat appear as low as possible. So it may possible the source of the data is bias.
