# THe outcome/response variable is y = diaelectric constant
# and the independent/predictor variable is x = air void (%).

# Scatter plot

# The scatter plot appears to show that both y and x have
# a strong linear relationship following the downward straight
# line.
# Two boxplots for y and x show that both are distributed evenly
# around the mean with no outliers.
# Density plots for y and x show that both appear to be close
# to the normal distribution.

# 0.88 (or -0.88) is a pretty high linear correlation number.
# Clearly they are linearly correlated from this result.
