Caffeine Example Using Computer Output Information:
Cheryl Dixon is interested to see if students who consume more caffeine tend to study more as well.
She randomly selects 20 students at her school and records their caffeine intake (mg) and the number of hours spent studying.
A scatterplot of the data showed a linear relationship.

Create the Linear Model Equation for the Line of Best Fit (LSRL) for predicting values of hours studying from the caffeine consumption of a student.
Use meaningful words (not x and y like in the video) and proper notation to show what is predicted.

Question 5
5.
Give the correlation coefficient (r).
r=
You will need to take a square root, round to three places past the decimal point.
Remember:
1. R squared is given as a percent, convert to a decimal first.
2. R squared is always positive, you need to read carefully to determine if the relationship is positive or negative and use that sign on the correlation coefficient.

A study published in 1995 investigated the use of marijuana and other drugs.
Data from 11 countries are summarized in the regression analysis below.
The data showed an association between the percentage of a country’s ninth graders who report having smoked marijuana and the percentage who have used other drugs such as LSD, amphetamines, and cocaine.
The computer output is shown below.
Think about which two variables are being compared in this situation.
Classify the numbers above as 'we are interested in' or 'we will not be using'.
