Textbook Question
Chapter 9, Problem 28E
Candy bars with nuts The data on candy bars per serving from Exercise 16 also has information on whether the candy bar has nuts. The variable Nuts is coded 0 for candy bars without nuts and 1 for those with nuts. Here’s the regression model of Exercise 16 with Nuts added:
Response variable is: Calories
R-squared = 46.7% s = 0.3318
| Variable | Coefficient |
| Intercept | 5.74529 |
| Sugar | –2.44376 |
| Protein | 7.13429 |
| Nuts | –0.155754 |
- a) What is a proper interpretation of the coefficient of Nuts in this regression?
- b) Did adding Nuts improve the regression model? Explain.
