Question:

Fred Luttrell is the new product development manager for Axcis Athletic Shoe Company. He recently completed consumer testing of 12 new shoe concepts. As part of this test, a panel of consumers was asked to rate the 12 shoe concepts on two attributes, overall quality and style. A 10-point scale was used, with anchors at 10=best possible and 1= worst possible.

The panel of 20 consumers met as a group and came up with the ratings as a group. Fred believes that there is a relationship between the style ratings and the overall quality ratings. He believes that shoes receiving higher ratings on style also will tend to receive higher ratings on overall quality. The ratings results for the 12 shoe concepts are as follows.
