Question:

Golomb et al. (2012) looked at whether higher chocolate consumption predicts higher body mass in humans. They fitted the data using a linear regression having chocolate consumption (number of times consumed per week) as the explanatory variable and the body mass index (BMI) as the response variable. BMI measures body mass relative to height, with high BMI typically meaning an overweight person. The slope of the regression was −0.142 , with a standard error of 0.053 and a P-value of 0.008. Is this evidence that people who eat more chocolate have higher BMI? Why or why not?
