Opinions are split about a coffee company's pumpkin-flavored coffee (PFC). Yet every year over the last five years the consumption of pumpkin-flavored goods has increased. If we look at the numbers, it also becomes clear why a leading coffee company keeps offering the PFC earlier and earlier every year. According to a magazine, the amount spent by PFC buyers at the coffee company is about 17% higher than non-PFC buyers. The accompanying table shows a random sample of eight consumers, the amount they spend per week, and the number of PFCs purchased per week. PFC Spending 2 13.88 7 39.11 4 19.79 1 9.84 3 15.43 1 21.52 5 37.39 3 13.85 The slope is b1=4.465 The y-intercept is b0=6.840 Because the slope is positive, it can be concluded that one extra PFC purchase per week will increase the average amount of spending per week by 4.46 dollars.
