A student wonders if people of similar heights tend to date each other. She measures herself and &ve other women in her hall of residence. She then measures the height of
the next person each woman dates. Here are the data (all heights in inches):

Their Dates 72 68 70 68 71 65
Treat the height of the women from the hall of residence as the predictor and the height of their date as the response.
