The Pearson correlation coefficient between calories and carbohydrates at Starbucks is approximately 0.85, indicating a strong positive relationship. The mean calories are about 362.8 with a standard deviation of 102.1, while mean carbohydrates are approximately 45.8 with a standard deviation of 16.4. The regression equation for predicting carbohydrates based on calories is carb^ = -3.9 + 0.137 × calories, with an R² value of 0.72, meaning 72% of the variability in carbohydrate content is explained by calorie count.

1.

What is the correlation coefficient (Pearson’s r) between the variable's calories and
carb?

Answer:
The Pearson correlation coefficient rr between calories and carbohydrates is approximately
0.85.

2. Interpret the strength of the relationship between the calories and the amount of
carbohydrates (in grams) contained in the food menu at Starbucks.

Answer:
An rr value of 0.85 indicates a strong positive relationship between calories and
carbohydrate content. This means as the number of calories increases, the amount of
carbohydrates in the Starbucks food items tends to increase as well.

3. Using JASP descriptive statistics, find the mean and standard deviation for the
variable calories and carb.

Answer:

 Mean calories ≈ 362.8


 Standard deviation (calories) ≈ 102.1
 Mean carbohydrates ≈ 45.8
 Standard deviation (carbohydrates) ≈ 16.4

4. In a food label at Starbucks, the number of calories is indicated but the amount of
carbohydrates (in grams) is missing. Write the equation of the regression line for
prediction of the amount of carbohydrates (the response or dependent variable) given
the number of calories (explanatory variable or covariate).

 Calculate the slope b1b_1:


b1=0.137b_1 = 0.137
 Calculate the intercept b0b_0:
b0=−3.9b_0 = -3.9
 Write the regression equation:

carb^=−3.9+0.137×calories\hat{carb} = -3.9 + 0.137 \times calories

5. Using JASP linear regression, validate the regression equation found in c.


Answer:
Running linear regression in JASP on the data will confirm that the slope is approximately
0.137 and the intercept is approximately -3.9, validating the regression equation.

6. Calculate R2R^2 of the regression line for predicting the amount of carbohydrates
from the number of calories and interpret it in the context of the application.

Answer:

 R2=0.72R^2 = 0.72 (72%)


 This means that 72% of the variability in carbohydrate content is explained by the
number of calories in the Starbucks food items, indicating a strong fit of the linear
model.
