Data was collected for a regression analysis where sleep quality (as a percentage) depends on the amount of caffeine consumed in a day (measured in mg). b0 was found to be 92.7, b1 was found to be -0.76, and R2 was found to be 0.86. Interpret the slope of the line. On average, when x=0, a person has a sleep quality of -0.76%. On average, each one mg increase in caffeine consumed decreases a person's sleep quality by 0.76%.

Question

Data was collected for a regression analysis where sleep quality (as a percentage) depends on the amount of caffeine consumed in a day (measured in mg). b0 was found to be 92.7, b1 was found to be -0.76, and R2 was found to be 0.86. Interpret the slope of the line.

  • On average, when x=0, a person has a sleep quality of -0.76%.
  • On average, each one mg increase in caffeine consumed decreases a person's sleep quality by 0.76%.
  • On average, each one mg increase in caffeine consumed increases a person's sleep quality by 92.7%.
  • On average, when x=0, a person has a sleep quality of 92.7%.
  • We should not interpret the slope in this problem.
  • We should interpret the slope in this problem, but none of the above are correct.
