Use the following to answer the questions below:
Fast food restaurants are been required to publish nutrition information about the foods they serve. Nutrition information about a random sample of McDonald's lunch/dinner menu items (excluding sides and drinks) was obtained from their website. We wish to use the sodium content (in milligrams) to better understand the number of calories in the lunch/dinner menu items at McDonald's. Some summary statistics, partial computer output from a regression analysis, and a scatterplot (with regression line) of the data are provided.
Use two decimal places when reporting the results from any calculations, unless otherwise
-Use the information in the ANOVA table to determine the number of menu items in the sample.

Use the following to answer the questions below:
Students in a small statistics course wanted to investigate if forearm length (in cm) was useful for predicting foot length (in cm). The data they collected are displayed in the provided scatterplot (with regression), and the computer output from the analysis is provided.
Use three decimal places when reporting the results from any calculations, unless otherwise specified.
The regression equation is Foot (cm) = 9.22 + 0.574 Forearm (cm)

In a random sample of 41 college students, the correlation between number of hours of television watched in a typical week and college GPA is -0.125. Is there evidence of a negative correlation between the amount of television watched and college GPA? Use a 5% significance level. Include all details of the test. Round the test statistic to three decimal places.

p-value = 0.218 (left tail in a t distribution with df = 39)
There is no evidence that the amount of television watched in a typical week is negatively correlated with college GPA.
Use the following to answer the questions below:
A quantitatively savvy, young couple is interested in purchasing a home in northern New York. They collected data on 48 houses that had recently sold in the area. They want to predict the selling price of homes (in thousands of dollars) based on the size of the home (in square feet).
The regression equation is Price (in thousands) = 17.1 + 0.0643 Size (sq. ft.)
-What are the degrees of freedom for constructing a confidence interval for, or performing a test about, the population slope?
