Question: Problem 1. (10 pts.)The following table contains data on the fat content ( in grams) vs the calories for 18 candy products. A scatter plot

Problem 1. (10 pts.)The following table contains data on the fat content ( in grams) vs the calories for 18 candy products. A scatter plot and a graph of the least squares fit are on the second page.

A.Determine the Pearson correlation coefficient for this data set. (on excel) =CORREL(B2:B19,C2:C19)=0.96

B.Determine the R squared value (on excel) =RSQ(C2:C19,B2:B19)=0.93

C.Determine the best linear fit to the data.

D.Use the best linear fit to estimate the number of calories in a candy bar with 20 grams of fat.

E.Is this a reasonable estimate? Explain you answer.

F.If you are on a diet, which are the two best and two worst candy bars for your diet.

G.Should we use this data to predict the number of calories in a zero fat candy bar.

H.Ignoring diet, which candy bar do you think is the best? (This is just a personal choice.)
