The Perfect Doughnut Study You have been employed as a statistician for a multinational confectionery company to help them develop the perfect doughnut. You conduct some market research and discover that there are a variety of factors that make for a good doughnut, including; the diameter (in millimetres); the sugar content of the dough (in grams); and whether or not it is iced, jam-filled, or has sprinkles/sugar dusted on top. Given the large budget, you are able to commission a variety of tester donuts created to your specifications (N=213), each of which you measure diligently, check the recipe (for sugar content) and categorise by topping/filling. Rather than have a single taste-tester eat every doughnut, making for confounders in time of testing, you instead dip into your pool of product testers. Each of the 213 participants tastes a different doughnut, and rates how much they liked it on a scale of 1to 10. You collect demographic information from each tester to ensure that you can control for aspects that might affect perception of taste, such as age and gender. Question: When you run an analysis to try and identify the optimal (most 'liked") type of doughnut, you are presented with the table below in your output. What would you readily conclude from this table alone? Coefficients\" Standardized Unstandardized Coefficients Coefficients Correlations Collinearity Statistics Model B Std.
