 Use this information to answer the following two questions. Eight people were
given a test of creativity in which higher scores reflected greater creativity. Each was
also given a test of mental telepathy in which they were asked to name the number the
experimenter was thinking about at that moment; degree of telepathy was defined as
the numerical difference between the two numbers, thus smaller scores represented
greater telepathy. The data are summarized below:

Subject 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Creativity 7 6 3 0 1 10 2 3
Telepathy 6 7 10 30 21 4 17 11
