Halloween Is a Fun Night $R$ (Correlation Coefficient) $=0.19534425$

question 57

Essay

Halloween is a fun night. It seems that older children might get more candy because they can travel further while
trick-or-treating. But perhaps the youngest kids get extra candy because they are so cute. Here are some data that examine
this question, along with the regression output.
Dependent Variable: candy
Sample size: 9
$R$ (correlation coefficient) $=0.19534425$
$R-s q=0.038159375$
$s=11.297554$
$\begin{array}{lrr}\text { Parameter } & \text { Estimate } & \text { Std. Err. } \\ \text { Intercept } & 29.767327 & 12.21138 \\ \text { Age } & 0.88861386 & 1.6862229\end{array}$




-Based on the graph and the regression output, what conclusions do you draw regarding
the relationship between age and the number of pieces of candy a trick-or-treater collects?
