A restaurant tracks the number of customers visiting daily to help determine how much soda it needs to order. The model ŷ = 18.232x + 1.58 shows the relationship between x, the number of customers that day, and ŷ, the predicted ounces of soda required. Interpret the slope in the real-world context. A. For each increase of one customer per day, the restaurant is predicted to increase the amount of soda needed by 1.58 ounces. B. When the restaurant is closed, it needs a total of 18.232 ounces of soda. C. For each increase of one customer per day, the restaurant is predicted to increase the amount of soda needed by 18.232 ounces. D. The slope just measures rise over run and does not tell us anything about the amount of soda needed.
