The produced regression model that correlates the amount fiber (in grams) and the potassium content (in milligrams) is:

potassium (mg) = 37 + 26 fiber (grams)

Considering that the cereal provides 88 grams of fibre per serving, the potassium in that same serving will be of 2325 milligrams (2,325 grams).

potassium (mg) = 37 + 26 * 88 ⇔ potassium (mg) = 2325
