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

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.
