One manufacturer has developed a quantitative index of the​\"sweetness\" of orange juice.​ (The higher the​ index, the sweeterthe​ juice). Is there a relationship between the sweetness indexand a chemical measure such as the amount of​water-soluble pectin​(parts per​ million) in the orange​ juice? Data collected on thesetwo variables for 24 production runs at a juice manufacturing plantare shown in the accompanying table. Suppose a manufacturer wantsto use simple linear regression to predict the sweetness​ (y) fromthe amount of pectin​ (x).

b. Interpret β0 and β1 in the words of the problem. Interpret β0in the words of the problem.

A.The regression coefficient β0 is the estimated sweetness indexfor orange juice that contains 0 ppm of pectin.

B.The regression coefficient β0 is the estimated increase​ (ordecrease) in amount of pectin​ (in ppm) for each​ 1-unit increasein sweetness index.

C.The regression coefficient β0 is the estimated amount ofpectin​ (in ppm) for orange juice with a sweetness index of 0.

D.The regression coefficient β0 does not have a practicalinterpretation.
