Item 1
A school nutritionist is studying the relationship between students' average daily sugar intake and
the number of dental cavities treated per year. She collects data from a sample of 10 students at
your school.
She wants to determine if there is a relationship between sugar intake and dental health, and
whether this information can help in planning a school-wide nutrition awareness campaign.
