Notes
The complete analysis must include:
 scatter plots
 correlation analysis
 simple linear regression analysis
 coefficient of determination
 multiple regression analysis

2. Go to any supermarket and look for the dry food or canned food section. Take
images of the nutritional information for at least 30 different brands of food in the
same category (for example, canned food) and compile your data (Total calories,
fat, protein, carbohydrate, etc).
a) Determine whether there is a linear relationship between any two
variables.
b) Determine how much variance in total calories is explained by fat grams.
c) Write a regression equation to determine how many total calories you
would expect in an item, knowing its fat grams.
(Note : Please provide a clear picture of the nutritional data that you collect.)
