6) The Consumer Reportratings for breakfast cereals have a fairly strong negative linearrelationship
with the grams of sugar per serving. The least-squares regression line is:
Predicted rating = 60 – 2.4*sugar
Which of the following is a valid interpretation of the slope?
a) A one-point increase in Consumer Reports ratings corresponds to a predicted decrease of 2.4 points is the grams of sugar in a serving.
b) A one-gram increase in sugar per serving corresponds to a predicted decrease of 2.4 points in theConsumer Reports rating.
