According to Map the Meal Gap 2013, there are Americans living at risk of hunger in every county in the United States. A random sample of counties was obtained, and the cost of a typical meal (x, in dollars) and the food insecurity ( y, a percentage of the population, adults and children, who are food insecure) was recorded for each
a. Construct a scatter plot for these data. Based on this plot, do you believe there is a significant linear relationship between the cost of a typical meal and food insecurity? Why or why not?
b. Find the estimate regression line.
c. Complete the ANOVA table (without the p value).
d. Does the value of the F statistic in the ANOVA table support your conclusion in part (a)? Why or why not?
