    Dr. Alvarez, a nutrition researcher, believes there is an association between a patient’s daily sugar intake, X (in grams), and their fasting blood‑glucose level, Y (in mg/dL). He tests his family and friends and the following paired data points are collected.

    1. Write down the sampling method used by Dr. Alvarez.

      [1]
    2. State one drawback of this sampling method.

      [1]
    3. State suitable hypotheses H0​ and H1​ for a two-tailed test of Dr. Alvarez's claim.

      [1]
    4. Carry out the test at the 5% significance level. With reference to the p-value, state your conclusion in the context of Dr. Alvarez's claim.

      [4]

    Dr. Alvarez fits the regression line of Y on X as Y^=0.50X+80.0.

    She uses this to predict that her brother, who consumes 150g of sugar will have a fasting glucose of 155mg/dL.

    1. Comment on the validity of this prediction with a mathematical justificiation.
