c. What is the slope of the regression equation? Interpret the slope in the context of this problem.
d. What is the y-intercept of the regression equation? Interpret the y-intercept in the context of this problem or explain why it would be inappropriate to do so.
e. Find and interpret the coefficient of determination.
f. Use the regression equation to predict the calories in a granola bar containing 7 grams of fat.
g. Would it be appropriate to use the regression equation to predict the calories in a granola bar containing 25 grams of fat? If so, predict the number of calories in such a bar. If not, explain why it would be inappropriate to do so.
h. Looking at the scatterplot there is a granola bar in the sample that has an extremely high number of calories given the moderate amount of fat it contains. Remove its data from the sample and recalculate the
