Problem 64E
Chicken Chicken sandwiches are often advertised as a healthier alternative to beef because many are lower in fat. Tests on 11 brands of fast-food chicken sandwiches produced the following summary statistics and scatterplot from a graphing calculator:
a) Do you think a linear model is appropriate in this situation?
b) Describe the strength of this association.
c) Write the equation of the regression line.
d) Explain the meaning of the slope.
e) Explain the meaning of the y–intercept.
f) What does it mean if a certain sandwich has a negative residual? g) If a chicken sandwich and a burger each advertised 35 grams of fat, which would you expect to have more calories (see Exercise 63)? h) McDonald’s Filet-O-Fish sandwich has 26 grams of fat and 470 calories. Does the fat–calorie relationship in this sandwich appear to be very different from that found in chicken sandwiches or in burgers (see Exercise 63)? Explain.

Step by Step Solution
Step 1 of 8
(a)
From the scatter plot we can see that the points are almost in a straight line. So we can say that a linear model is appropriate in this situation
