Tiny Tina, the explosive-loving Bunker Master, is hosting her first-ever Wonderlands Bake-Off. Contestants from across the realm, including goblins, skeletons, and glitter-loving orcs, are competing to craft the most delicious, magical baked treats.

Each contestant submits one dessert for judging. The judging panel includes:

You, as the official Fateweaver Statistician, are tasked with determining what factors predict the panel’s overall satisfaction rating.

Each contestant records the following: - glitter_level: How much edible glitter was used (grams) - boom_factor: A subjective rating (1–10) of how explosive the dessert was - frosting_thickness: Thickness of frosting layer (mm) - overall_satisfaction: Combined score from all three judges (0–100 scale)

1. Construct a regression model that models overall satisfaction (overall_satisfaction) as a function of glitter level (glitter_level), boom factor (boom_factor), and frosting thickness (frosting_thickness). Remember to state your resulting regression model.

\hat{y} = \hat{\beta}_0 + \hat{\beta}_1 x_1 +\ ...

2. Is this a significant regression line? Test at the \alpha=0.05 level. Remember to typeset your results.

3. Which, if any, are signficant predictors of overall satisfaction (overall_satisfaction)? Test at the \alpha=0.05 level. You do not need to formally write the hypothesis tests (i.e., typeset), but please provide a statement for each predictor, backed up statistically (using results generated).

4a. Please provide a formal interpretation for glitter level (glitter_level).

Replace with your answer.

4b. Please provide a formal interpretation for boom factor (boom_factor).

Replace with your answer.

4c. Please provide a formal interpretation for frosting thickness (frosting_thickness).

Replace with your answer.

5. Please write a brief summary paragraph for Tiny Tina. Include information about your summary statistics, slope interpretations (you can be more general here – remember that she is 13 and not a statistician/data scientist), and test results (frame this as what matters most according to the model we constructed).

Replace with your answer.
