We denote the weight as X and the consumption as Y. The means and standard deviations are

Xˉ=41+...+16818=92.61sx=1181((4192.61)2+...+(16892.61)2)=47.139Yˉ=3+...+918=5.33sy=1181((35.33)2...(95.33)2)=2.029r=(XXˉ)(YYˉ)(n1)sxsy=(4192.61)(35.33)++(16892.61)(95.33)(181)×47.139×2.029=0.9872\bar{X} = \frac{41+...+168}{18}=92.61 \\ s_x = \sqrt{\frac{1}{18-1}((41-92.61)^2+...+(168-92.61)^2)} = 47.139 \\ \bar{Y}= \frac{3+...+9}{18}=5.33 \\ s_y = \sqrt{\frac{1}{18-1}((3-5.33)^2...(9-5.33)^2)}=2.029 \\ r = \frac{\sum (X-\bar{X})(Y-\bar{Y})}{(n-1)s_xs_y} \\ = \frac{(41-92.61)(3-5.33)+…+(168-92.61)(9-5.33)}{(18-1) \times 47.139 \times 2.029} \\ = 0.9872

The parameters of the regression line are

b=rsysx=0.98722.02947.139=0.0425a=YˉbXˉ=5.330.0425×92.61=1.3973b = r \frac{s_y}{s_x} \\ = 0.9872 \frac{2.029}{47.139} \\ = 0.0425 \\ a = \bar{Y} -b \bar{X} \\ = 5.33 -0.0425 \times 92.61 \\ = 1.3973

The regression equation is Y = 1.3973 + 0.0425X

If the weight increases by 10 pounds the consumption increases by 0.425 cups.
