We want to investigate this relationship. Using all of the food menu items at a well-known fast food restaurant, the fat content and calorie content were measured. We decide to fit the least-squares regression line to the data, with fat content ( x) as the explanatory variable and calorie content ( y) as the response variable. A scatterplot of the data (with regression line included) and a summary of the data are provided. One of the menu items is a hamburger with 117 grams of fat and 1520 calories. r = 0.979 (correlation between x and y) = 40.35 grams (mean of the values of x) = 662.88 calories (mean of the values of y) = 27.99 grams (standard deviation of the values of x) = 324.90 calories (standard deviation of the values of y) Refer to the example data point (117 grams, 1520 calories).
