Question

Unit Ten Discussions DB Unit 10, Ch. 7: Correlation and Regression Find (or create)and share a scatterplot showing linear regression in a topic from your career area or another area of interest. Critique the graph for how well it “stands alone” If the least squares regression line is given, interpret the slope and y-intercept if appropriate. If not, explain why. Generally, what does the scatterplot imply? Are the two variables positively correlated? Negatively, or barely? https://www.newswise.com/articles/importance-of-meat-and-other-animal-products-in-cancer-risk-highlighted-in-multicountry-study
Here the slope indicates that for every one Kcal/person/yr increase in animal product consumption ovarian cancer incidence would increase by 0.0046 cases/100,000/yr.
The y-intercept would indicate with absolutely no animal product consumption (which is possible, so valid to interpret) there would be 3.93 cases/100,000/yr.

Explanation / Answer

Scatterplot implies there is a positive correlation between the dependent variable and independent variable i.e the two variables are positively correlated.It is evident that as the values of x axis(independent variable) increases the values of y axis(dependent variable) tend to increase i.e they move together in the same direction.
