One continuous predictor

[Data] Alligator Data: In a study by the Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission on the foods that alligators in the wild choose to eat, 59 alligators in Lake George, Florida, were sampled and the primary food type found in the alligators stomach was recorded along with the alligator length.

[Goal] Study the relationship between the alligator length and primary food choice.
