Assignment Guidelines

? Create a scatter plot of the given data.

o 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.

Your submitted assignment (150 points) should include:

? A Word document of 3–5 pages that contains your scatter plot, calculated correlation coefficient, regression equation, and responses to the questions and topics listed in the Assignment Guidelines above.
