Numerous scientific studies indicate that calcium is an essential mineral for the formation and maintenance of strong, healthy bones. An inadequate supply of calcium in the diet is broadly believed to contribute to weak, porous bones, increasing the risk of a hip fracture, especially in the elderly. Calcium can be obtained from several sources, including soybeans, many leafy green vegetables, and dairy products.
The scatterplot and superimposed regression line depict the relationship between the annual incidence rate of hip fracture and the annual rate of dairy consumption for a sample of forty nations.
The regression analysis reveals a highly significant positive linear correlation between the variables. The sample linear correlation coefficient, 𝑟, is .759. Note that this positive relationship is opposite from what you would expect.
When the relationship between two variables is nonlinear, the actual relationship between the variables is typically the opposite as that indicated by the sample linear correlation coefficient
Because the regression line does not have a meaningful 𝑦-intercept, it is inappropriate to interpret the sample linear correlation coefficient to indicate a positive relationship
The sample size of 4040 world nations is not large enough to establish any relationship. The linear correlation and regression analysis are invalid
There is at least one lurking variable that correlates with both dairy consumption and hip fractures

Suppose the manager of a gas station monitors how many bags of ice he sells daily along with recording the highest temperature each day during the summer. The data are plotted with temperature, in degrees Fahrenheit (°F), as the explanatory variable (x) and the number of ice bags sold that day as the response variable (y). The least squares regression (LSR) line for the data is y-hat=−114.05+2.17x.
On one of the observed days, the temperature was 90 °F and 75 bags of ice were sold. Determine the number of bags of ice predicted to be sold by the LSR line, y-hat , when the temperature is 90 °F. Enter your answer as a whole number, rounding if necessary

Many states have programs for assessing the skills of students in various grades. The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is one such program. In a recent year the mean mathematics score for forth‑graders was 250, and the standard deviation was 30. Assuming that these scores are approximately Normally distributed, 𝑁(250,30), use the 68–95–99.768–95–99.7 rule to give a range of scores that includes 68% of these students.
