Explanation / Answer

Coefficient of determinatin is 0.684. 68.4% of variation in sales is explained by variation in shelf space.

The line of regression is given by

sales = 7.4 shelf space +145

The above line of regression is significant since pvalue of the slope is very low.

Hence the regression model is very useful
