What is the regression equation?
A) calories = 5.984 + 1.072 protein +1.033 fat + 0.454 fibre +0.260 carbohydrates + 0.250 sugar
B) calories = 20.2454 + 1.072 protein +8.09 fat + 0.454 fibre +11.30 carbohydrates + 0.250 sugar
C) calories = 3.38 + 5.32 protein +8.09 fat - 2.11 fibre +11.30 carbohydrates + 13.30 sugar
D) calories = 5.984 + 5.32 protein +1.033 fat - 2.11 fibre +0.260 carbohydrates + 13.30 sugar
E) calories = 20.2454 + 5.6954 protein + 8.3596 fat - 1.0202 fibre + 2.9357 carbohydrates + 3.3185 sugar

Final Answer :
E
Explanation :
The best choice is E because it provides coefficients for each variable (protein, fat, fiber, carbohydrates, and sugar) that have been determined to be the most predictive of calorie content in the given dataset. This equation will allow for the estimation of calorie content based on the amounts of each nutrient provided in a given food.
