In this analysis, Motor Trend magazine gather information on the horsepower and mileage for 32 cars in the 1973-1974 model year. In order to determine a relationship between the variables of horsepower and mileage, I created a scatterplot using the two variables.

There appears to be a negative correlation between the variables. As the amount of horsepower increases, the mileage of the car decreases. Likewise, as the amount of mileage increases, the horsepower of the car decreases. The best fit function for the data would not be a linear function, but most likely a quadratic or logarithmic function.
