The following data represent the weight (in grams) of a box of raisins and the number of raisins in the box.

(a) Draw a scatter diagram of the data treating weight as the independent variable.

(b) What type of relation appears to exist between the weight of a box of raisins and the number of raisins?

(c) Select two points and find a linear model that contains the points.

(d) Graph the line on the scatter diagram drawn in part (b).

(e) Use the linear model to predict the number of raisins in a box that weighs 42.5 grams.

(f) Interpret the slope of the line found in part (c).
