A very large contribution to profits for a movie theater is the sale of popcorn, soft drinks, and candy. A movie theater manager speculated that the longer the time between showings of a movie, the greater the sales of concessions. For a month, the manager systematically varied the time between movie showings and calculated the sales. The slope of the sample was found to be 19.06 with a standard error of 11.42, resulting in a t-value of 1.67 and a printed (two-tail) p-value of 0.1045. Based on these data:
