I need help with -(d) Predict the bone mineral density of the femoral neck of a woman who consumes two colas per week.- at the very bottom. Thank you!

Because colas tend to replace healthier beverages and colas contain caffeine and phosphoric acid, researchers wanted to know whether cola consumption is associated with lower bone mineral density in women. The accompanying data lists the typical number of cans of cola consumed in a week and the femoral neck bone mineral density for a sample of 15 women.

this is the table:

Colas per weekBone Mineral Density (grams per cubic centimeter)

00.907

00.896

10.880

20.842

20.851

20.835

20.835

30.814

50.757

50.762

50.758

60.729

60.727

70.709

80.676

Find the least-squares regression line treating cola consumption per week as the explanatory variable.

=-0.028x + 0.9

(Round to three decimal places as needed.)

(b) Interpret the slope.

B. For every cola consumed per week, the bone density decreases by 0.028g /cm3, on average. - Correct Answer

(Round to three decimal places as needed.)

(c) Interpret the y-intercept.

A. For 0 colas consumed in a week, the bone density is predicted to be 0.900 g/cm3. - Correct Answer

(Round to three decimal places as needed.)

(d) Predict the bone mineral density of the femoral neck of a woman who consumes two colas per week.

=__?__g/cm3

(Round to three decimal places as needed.)
