The human resources department is interested in whether there is a relationship between the rankings of new hires by their recruiter and by their super- visor. A random sample of 10 employees is selected from a large group of employees hired by a single recruiter, to be assigned to a single supervisor. The recruiter is asked to rank the 10 employees at the time of hiring. The supervisor is then asked to rank them a year later.

Does it appear that there is a correlation between the recruiter€™s rankings and the supervisor€™s rankings? Explain.
