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 Calculate the slope and y-intercept for the regression formula. The slope is b1=(Round to three decimal places as needed.)

An analyst in the real estate business is interested in the relationship between the cost of the monthly rent of an apartment and the size of an apartment, in big cities. She gathers data for apartment buildings in 12 cities in 12 different states. In each city, she gets the numbers for at least 5 different buildings and at least 40 apartments in each building. She reaches the following conclusion: the rental cost of a 2-bedroom apartment is 50% more than the rental cost of a 1-bedroom apartment, and the rental cost of a 3-bedroom apartment is 50% more than the rental cost of a 2-bedroom apartment. Based on the paragraph, what is the minimum number of apartments she collected data on? Do you think her sample was large enough to be statistically valid? Based on the paragraph, are there any apartments or apartment buildings that she would have excluded from her study? Do you see any bias in how she selected apartments for her study? Based on the paragraph, is there a positive…
