Oil Problem - A small sample data is collected for two variables. Y represents the price of all gas types per gallon (Bureau of Labor Statistics), and X represents the average price of crude oil per barrel (Department of energy), for a period of ten years.

Yr	y	x
2000	1.56	27.39
2001	1.53	23.00
2002	1.44	22.81
