Exam 10: Multiple Regression

Use the following While many people count calories, some often don't think about calories in the beverages they consume. Starbucks, one of the leading coffeehouse chains, provides nutrition information about all of their beverages on their website. Nutrition information, including number of calories, fat (g), carbohydrates (g), and protein (g), was collected on a random sample of Starbucks' 16 ounce ("Grande") hot espresso drinks. Note that all of the drinks in the sample are made with 2% milk unless the name specifically included the term "Skinny," which is how Starbucks indicated a beverage made with nonfat milk. ‪ -The "Caramel Macchiato" was one of the drinks selected for the sample. When made with 2% milk, a grande Caramel Macchiato has 7 grams of fat, 34 grams of carbohydrates, and 10 grams of protein. Predict the number of calories in a Caramel Macchiato. Round to two decimal places.
