Question

Bone mineral density and cola consumption has been recorded for a sample of patients. Let x represent the number of colas consumed per week and y the bone mineral density in grams per cubic centimeter. Assume the data is normally distributed.

Cola Consumed	Bone Mineral Density (g)
1	0.8777
2	0.8925
3	0.8898
4	0.8769
5	0.8999
6	0.8634
7	0.8762
8	0.8888
9	0.8552
10	0.8546
11	0.8762

Based on the data in the table, is there a significant linear relationship between Colas Consumed and Bone Mineral Density?

• A.

  No, because p-value = 0.0872

• B.

  Yes, because the slope = -0.002

• C.

  Yes, because p-value = 0.0931

• D.

  No, because p-value = 0.0931

Answer 1

The statistical software output for this problem is :

P-value = 0.0931

At 5% level,

D.

No, because p-value = 0.0931
