A Horticulturist Conducted an Experiment on 140 Thirty-Six Inch Plant $1.74$

question 15

Short Answer

A horticulturist conducted an experiment on 140 thirty-six inch plant boxes to see if the amount ofplant food given to the plant boxes was associated with the number of habanera peppers harvestedfrom the plants. The average amount of plant food given was 17.8 milliliters with a standarddeviation of 0.7 milliliters. The average number of habanera peppers harvested was 6.5 with astandard deviation of 1.5. The correlation coefficient was 0.8123. Use the information to calculatethe slope of the linear model that predicts the number of habanera peppers harvested from theamount of plant food given. Show your work and round to the nearest hundredth.
A) $1.74$
B) The slope cannot be determined without the actual data.
C) $0.38$
D) $- 1.50$

• A) \(1.74\)
