Question 15.18

15.18 Wine and heart disease. Table 15.1 gives data on wine consumption and heart disease death rates in 19 countries in 2001. A scatterplot (Exercise 15.15) shows a moderately strong relationship. The least-squares regression line for predicting heart disease death rate from wine consumption, calculated from the data in Table 15.1, is

y=115.868.05x

Use this equation to predict the heart disease death rate in a country where adults average 1 liter of alcohol from wine each year and in a country that averages 8 liters per year. Use these two results to draw the least-squares line on your scatterplot.
