After interviewing salespersons at Harley Davidson dealerships, a
researcher has created a linear regression line to explain the
relationship between a Harley Davidson motorcycle's age (x) and
price (y). The regression has an R² = 87.7%. Write a sentence
summarizing what R² says about this regression.
The age of the motorcycle explains 12.3% of the variation in price.
The age of the motorcycle explains 9.36% of the variation in price.
The age of the motorcycle explains 87.7% of the variation in price.
The price of the motorcycle explains 12.3% of the variation in age.
The price of the motorcycle explains 87.7% of the variation in age.

From each item, researchers obtained the amount of sodium(in milligrams, or mg) and the number of calories. The scatterplot below displays the relationship between sodium content and number of calories. The regression equation and the value of r2 are given below the scatterplot. Predicted number of calories = 188.6 + 0.35 (sodium content) r2 = 54.29% Based on the information given above, what is the value of the correlation, or r, between number of calories and sodium content? What would be the predicted number of calories for a fast-food item with 1000 mg of sodium? The 9-inch personal Meat Lovers PANormous Pizza from Pizza Hut has a sodium content of 3670 mg.
