Question: A researcher notices on his morning commute that as the announced "time-late" increases, other commuters around him check their watch less frequently.  Interested in this relationship, the researcher conducts an experiment over the next few weeks.  Each morning he first chooses a commuter at random.  Once the train is late,he begins observing the subject noting the number of times he/she checks the time. He continues to count until the train arrives. The data on six fellow commuters are as follows:

Announced Minutes Late (X)	Number of Looks at Watch (Y)
9	21
11	17
16	17
22	10
24	7
32	4

Calculate and interpret the coefficient of determination.
