Question:
We conduct a study to see if the quantity of turkey consumed on Thanksgiving can be used to predict the minutes of sleep that occur after the meal. We collect data on a sample of people and record the quantity of turkey they consumed (in ounces) and the number of minutes they slept that afternoon. Use the SAS output below to answer the questions that follow. Assume a significance level of 0.05 unless indicated otherwise.
What type of analysis is this?
Simple linear regression
Correlation analysis
Multiple linear regression
Analysis of variance (ANOVA)
Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA)
QUESTION 6
