Question

For each menu item at a fast food restaurant, the fat content (in grams) and the

number of calories were recorded. A scatterplot of these data is given:

Sparta

The restaurant decides to add six new high-calorie, low-fat pasta dishes to its menu.

What is a plausible value for the new correlation coefficient describing the

relationship between fat and calories?

Oa) 0.7

Ob) 10.7

C) 0.2

d) 0.2

Answer 1

The answer is "Option a".

Explanation:

please find the attached file.

In the given question, the positive correlation shows the scatterplot and, by adding six now higher calories, low-fat pasta, is the positive value for the new correlation of the coefficient will be decreasing.

In this question, the points are more close to the line and increasing from left to right, which can be mostly like, that's why the choice "a" is correct.
