Their responses produced a mean of 3.78 meals per week, with a standard deviation of 2.2. Researchers then matched these responses against the students’ grade point averages (GPAs). The scatterplot appeared to be reasonably linear, so they created a line of regression. No apparent pattern emerged in the residuals plot. The equation of the line was
Â
a) Interpret the y-intercept in this context.
b) Interpret the slope in this context.
c) What was the mean GPA for these students?
d) If a student in this study had a negative residual, what did that mean?
e) Upon hearing of this study, a counselor recommended that parents who want to improve the grades their children get should get the family to eat together more often. Do you agree with this interpretation? Explain.
