Height cant be used to predict the number of candies that will be in a bag of Skittles because theres no

relationship between the two

Number of candies is our response variable while height is our explanatory variable

There is no significant relationshio between the two. Yes this is what I expected because as mentioned
theres no significant relationship between the two. R (correlation coefficient) = 0.17042887 and the

critical value is 0.381

Simple linear regression results:
Dependent Variable: total
Independent Variable: height
total = 50.713668 + 0.1287705 height
Sample size: 60
R (correlation coefficient) = 0.17042887
R-sq = 0.029046

The regression equation is y^=50.714+0.129x. y^=50.714+0.129(63.5)=58.9. no because theres no

linear relation between the explanatory and response variable

R2= .029046. 2.9% of the variation in number of candies per bag can be explained by the relationship
with height.

No because we shouldnt predict a variable thats outside of the scope of the model
Correlation coefficient is .1456714081 the critical value is .811 and the regression equation is
y^=52.96153846+.0769230769x. There is no significant relationship
