TOPIC CHOSEN

I would like to complete my linear regression project on the sugar content in children’s brand fruit juices. I chose this topic because I have a 9-week-old daughter and I want to make the best choices for her when she is able to drink juices.

You may choose any 8-10 kid fruit juices. Please see page 29 of the attachment Sugary Drink FAC. 

Instructions

Choose a particular type of food or drink. (Examples: Fish sandwich at fast-food chains, cheese pizza, breakfast cereal) For at least 8 brands, look up the fat content and the associated calorie total per serving. Make a quick plot for yourself to "eyeball" whether the data exhibit a relatively linear trend. (If so, proceed. If not, try a different type of food.) After you find the line of best fit, use your line to make a prediction corresponding to a fat amount not occurring in your data set.) Alternative: Look up carbohydrate content and associated calorie total per serving.
