Question

Suppose a state raises the tobacco tax and as a result the smoking rate drops from 21% to 18%. How would the decrease in the smoking rate affect diabetes? based on regression results? Please explain it to me. 0.05 Significance x varible column: 5 smolung Y varible column: 1 Diabetes Sample size, n Degrees of freedom 48 Correlation Results: 0.6123215 Correlation coeff, r 10.2787103 Critical r Reject the Null Hypothesis Sample provides evidence to support linear correlation Regression Resurs 3.942735 Y Intercept, bo 0.2380468 slope, b1 93.2232 Total Variation: 34.95288 Explained Variation: Unexplained Variation 58.27032 1.101801 Standard Error 0.3749376 Coeff of Det, R

Explanation / Answer

Slope is 0.2380468 so that corresponding to 1% increase in smoking rate there is on an average 0.2380468 % increase in diabetes rate.

So, corresponding to 21% to 18% or 3% decrease in smoking rate there is on an average 3*0.2380468

=0.7141404% decrease in diabetes rate
