An advertising firm wishes to demonstrate to its clients the effectiveness of the advertising campaigns it has conducted. The following bivariate
data on twelve recent campaigns, including the cost of each campaign (denoted by x, in millions of dollars) and the resulting percentage
increase in sales (denoted by y) following the campaign, were presented by the firm. A scatter plot of the data is shown in Figure 1. Also given
is the product of the campaign cost and the percentage increase in sales for each of the twelve campaigns. (These products, written in the
column labelled "xy", may aid in calculations.)
