c Yes, because the delayed flight rates were different for each city.
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-

A restaurant owner wants to see if she can use low temperatures to
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



boost soup sales at her restaurant. To study a possible relationship
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



between temperature and soup sales, she collects data throughout the
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



year on the temperature of a given day (ranging between 20 degrees F
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



and 90 degrees F) and the amount of soup sold that day. She performs
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



a linear regression and comes up with a least squares regression line of
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



y=−1.64x+176.6 with r=−0.89 where x is the temperature (in degrees F) i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



and y is the number of daily soup sales. What is the correct
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



interpretation of the slope of the regression line? i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-




a For every increase in one degree Fahrenheit, there is a corresponding
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



increase of 1.64 sales of soup. i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-




b For every increase of one degree Fahrenheit, there is a corresponding
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



increase of 176.6 sales of soup. i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-




c For every increase in one degree Fahrenheit, there is a corresponding
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



decrease of 1.64 sales of soup. i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-




d For every incre

there is a corresponding decrease of 1.64 sales of soup.
