Problem: You have been asked to determine whether there is a correlation between the amount of calories per serving in a bowl of cereal served at various faculty buildings versus the amount of sugar (in grams) in the cereal. The following data has been given for examination.

Assignment Guidelines

• Create a scatter plot of the given data.
  • Be sure you explain your decision on which variable is the predictor and which variable is the response.
• Using computer software or a Web application, calculate the correlation coefficient, and explain what this value implies in relation to the data set.
• Create a regression equation that models the data, and describe the values of the slope and y-intercept with the data set.
• Predict how many calories a box of cereal will contain if it has 25 grams of sugar per serving.
• Predict how much sugar (in grams) a box of cereal will contain if it has 230 calories.
• Discuss any lurking variables that could be relevant to the analysis of this data set.
