Skittles Project part 3
“Can height be used to predict the number of candies that will be in a bag of Skittles you
purchase?”
1. I do not believe that the height of each class mate can predict the total number of
candies in each individual’s skittles bag because there is no logical way to be able to
predict the number of candies in the bag you purchased based on your height.
2. The explanatory variable (x) would be the height of the person buying the skittles bag and
the response variable (y) would be the number of candies per bag
3. Simple linear regression results:
Dependent Variable: Total
Independent Variable: Height
Total = 64.32367 - 0.066960037 Height
Sample size: 35
R (correlation coefficient) = -0.12087521
R-sq = 0.014610816
Estimate of error standard deviation: 2.3176362
