The table below shows the fat content and calories for several burgers. Analyze the association between fat content and calories using correlation and scatterplots. Fat (g) 21 29 34 36 41 41 43 Calories 419 584 587 568 640 678 659 What is the correlation coefficient for the data? (Round to three decimal places as needed.)

Step 1
First, we need to calculate the mean (average) of the fat content and calories. Mean of fat content (g): (21 + 29 + 34 + 36 + 41 + 41 + 43) / 7 = 305 / 7 = 43.571 Mean of calories: (419 + 584 + 587 + 568 + 640 + 678 + 659) / 7 = 4095 / 7 = 585 Show more…

The table below shows the fat content and calories for several burgers. Analyze the association between fat content and calories using correlation and scatterplots. Fat (g) | 22 | 30 | 35 | 36 | 41 | 41 | 45 Calories | 415 | 576 | 589 | 567 | 636 | 676 | 661 What is the correlation coefficient for the data? (Round to three decimal places as needed.)

For each menu item at a fast food restaurant, the fat content (in grams) and the number of calories were recorded. A scatterplot of these data is given. A plausible value for the correlation between fat content and number of calories is:

"The fast food hamburger remains the single largest seller in fast food restaurants in America" according to the http://www.loseweightgroup.com/ website. McDonald's, Burger King, etc., are all required to provide nutritional facts about their various burgers. Do the calories due to fat determine the cholesterol $\mathrm{mg}$ in a hamburger? The following data were obtained from the website. a. Determine the equation for the line of best fit. b. $\quad$ Determine whether fat calories are an effective predictor of cholesterol, at the 0.05 level of significance. c. Find the $95 \%$ confidence interval for $\beta_{1}$.
