A manufacturer of candy corn is committed to improving quality control.  One complaint that they seek to reduce is that of torn packaging upon receipt of the product by the customer.  in an effort to improve the package sealing process, an experiment was conducted to determine the ease of opening the bags without tearing the inner liner of the bag (data from Johnson and Burrows, 2011).  One factor that could effect the ability of the bag to resist tears is the plate gap on the bag sealing equipment.  data were collected on 19 bags in which the plat gap was varied.  Assuming a linear relationship create a least-squares fit and of the relationship between the variables Tear (dependent) and Plate Gap (independent). The JMP results are in the following picture. After examining the model a quality control engineer wants to send a brief email to her supervisor summarizing the effects of varying the plate gap on the packaging durability (measured by the Variable Tear).  Which of the following statements are supported by the regression model (Choose ALL the statements that are SUPPORTED BUT THE MODEL).
