Question

An analysis of the amount of fiber (in grams) and the potassium content (in milligrams) in servings of 77 breakfast cereals produced the regression model Potassium 39 26Fiber. Explain what the slope means Choose the correct answer below. O A. O B. ° C. O D. The model predicts that cereals wil have approximately 26 more grams of fiber for every additional milligram of potassium. The model predicts that cereals will have approximately 26 more milligrams of potassium for every additional gram of fiber. The model predicts that cereals wil have approximately 39 more milligrams of potassium for every additional gram of fiber. The model predicts that cereals will have approximately 39 more grams of fiber for every additional milligram of potassium.

Explanation / Answer

B) The model predicts the cereals wil have approximately 26 more milligrams of potassium for every additional gram of fiber.

Given the equation:

potassium = 39 + 26Fiber

lets take Fiber = 1

so , Potassium = 39 + 26(1) = 65

now let us take

Fiber = 2

so , Potassium = 39 + 26(2) = 91

we se addition 26 grams to potassium each time we increase the fiber content by 1 gram.
