For the data below, do the following: Times Per Weck Eat Fast Food Body Mass Index (BMI) 25 29 30 31 24 31 32 37 Calculate a regression coefficient and intercept for the regression of BMI (Y) on times per week eating fast food (X). a. b. Interpret the values you calculated for the regression coefficient and intercept. c. The coefficient of determination (r2) for this regression is 0.64. Interpret this value. h (US)

Explanation / Answer

(a) Slope (regression coefficient) = 0.9231 and Intercept = 25.3077

(b) The BMI increases by 0.9231 for every unit increase in the times per week of eating fast food. If fast food is not consumed, the BMI is 25.3077

(c) 64% of the variation in Y is explained by this regression model.
