Question
Researchers at a pharmaceutical company are testing a new drug that regulates blood sugar. In one test, subjects were prescribed a random and safe dose of the drug. Once the drugs were administered, the researchers measured each subject's blood sugar levels before and after a meal.
For each subject, the company recorded the given dose (in milligrams), x, and the rise in blood sugar (in milligrams per deciliter), y.
The least squares regression line of this data set is:
y=
–
0.003x+23.554
Complete the following sentence:
If the dose increased by 1 milligram, the least squares regression line predicts that a subjects' blood sugar level will rise
milligrams per deciliter less.
