12.7 Starbucks Coffee Co. uses a data-based approach to improving the quality and customer satisfaction of its products. When survey data indicated that Starbucks needed to improve its package sealing process, an experiment was conducted (data extracted from L. Johnson and S. Burrows, “For Starbucks, It’s In the Bag,” Quality Progress, March 2011, pp. 17–23) to determine the factors in the bag-sealing equipment that might be affecting the ease of opening the bag without tearing the inner liner of the bag. One factor that could affect the rating of the ability of the bag to resist tears was the plate gap on the bagsealing equipment. Data was collected on 19 bags in which the plate gap was varied. The results are stored in Starbucks .
a. Construct a scatter plot.
b. Assuming a linear relationship, use the least-squares method to determine the regression coefficients b0 and b1
c. Interpret the meaning of the slope, b1, in this problem.
d. Predict the tear rating when the plate gap is equal to 0.

12.9 An agent for a residential real estate company has the business objective of developing more accurate estimates of the monthly rental cost for apartments. Toward that goal, the agent would like to use the size of an apartment, as defined by square footage to predict the monthly rental cost. The agent selects a sample of 25 apartments in a particular residential neighborhood and collects the following data (stored in RENT).
