Instructions: Answer the questions below using Microsoft Excel, SAS or another statistical analysis program.The data for questions 1 & 2 are located in an Excel spreadsheet on Canvas in the Exercises section. You will be using the same dataset for questions 1 and 2. Data for question three is provided below. Make sure you read through each question completely.

  1. For the following questions, you will be using several methods to investigate the precision/ reliability of 50 individuals who completed replicate 24-hour recalls. Specifically, you will be investigating the reproducibility of total fat intake (g) and Vitamin A intake (RAE)[1] (mcg).

a. Plot the fat intake from the first 24-hour recall on the x-axis and the second 24-hour recall on the y-axis (paste plot below).How well do the estimates of intake seem to correlate (comment without calculating a correlation coefficient)?

b. Plot the Vitamin A intake from the first 24-hour recall on the x-axis and the second 24-hour recall on the y-axis (paste plot below).How well do the estimates of intake seem to correlate (comment without calculating a correlation coefficient)?

c. Use Excel to calculate the Pearson correlation coefficient for dietary fat intake and Vitamin A intake. Based on this information, which has better reliability and why do you think that is the case?
