b) 35%= 627 grams

Question 1.8:

a) 2
b) 3
c) 1
d) 4

Question 1.9:

a) Time is Explanatory and Calories as a Response variable

b)

c) Correlation = -0.53251
d) The scatterplot shows a fairy random pattern, the first 6 residuals are positive, the
next 5 are negative, the third is positive, the next 2 is negative, 1 positive, then a
negative followed by 4 other negative residuals last. This random pattern indicates
that a liner model provides a decent fit to the model.

e) R2= -0.2835, the value of R2 is coefficient of determination

f) r= -12514.65/!(78719.6)𝑥(70161.1)
g) on average the slope will descend at -0.53251 or 53.25 calories is consumed while
sitting down.
h) …..
i) No- because there are many different foods that might have higher calories, you can
consume less food while consuming a larger amount of high calories while sitting
down.
