A Grass Seed Company Conducts a Study to Determine the Relationship

question 20

Multiple Choice

A grass seed company conducts a study to determine the relationship between the density of seeds planted (in pounds per 500 sq ft) and the quality of the resulting lawn.Eight similar plots of land are selected and each is planted with a particular density of seed.One month later the quality of each lawn is rated on a scale of 0 to 100.The regression analysis is given below.Find a 95% confidence interval for the slope of the regression line.
Dependent variable is: Lawn Quality
R-squared = 36.0%
