To monitor its staff appraisal methods, a personnel department compares the results of the tests carried out on employees at their first appraisal with an assessment score of the same individuals two years later. The resulting data are as follows:
\n| Employee | $\\var{obj[0]}$ | $\\var{obj[1]}$ | $\\var{obj[2]}$ | $\\var{obj[3]}$ | $\\var{obj[4]}$ | $\\var{obj[5]}$ | $\\var{obj[6]}$ | $\\var{obj[7]}$ |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| First Test $(X)$ | \n$\\var{r1[0]}$ | \n$\\var{r1[1]}$ | \n$\\var{r1[2]}$ | \n$\\var{r1[3]}$ | \n$\\var{r1[4]}$ | \n$\\var{r1[5]}$ | \n$\\var{r1[6]}$ | \n$\\var{r1[7]}$ | \n
| Later Score $(Y)$ | \n$\\var{r2[0]}$ | \n$\\var{r2[1]}$ | \n$\\var{r2[2]}$ | \n$\\var{r2[3]}$ | \n$\\var{r2[4]}$ | \n$\\var{r2[5]}$ | \n$\\var{r2[6]}$ | \n$\\var{r2[7]}$ | \n
