Question

refer to the following data set: Herd Immunity According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, herd immunity is dened as a concept of protecting a community against certain diseases by having a high percentage of the communitys population immunized. Even if a few members of the community are unable to be immunized, the entire community will be indirectly protected because the disease has little opportunity for an outbreak. However, with a low percentage of population immunity, the disease would have great opportunity for an outbreak.3 Suppose a study is conducted in the year 2016 looking at the outbreak of Haemophilus inuenzae type b in the winter of 2015 across 22 nursing homes. We might look at the percentage of residents in each of the nursing homes that were immunized and the percentage of residents who were infected with this type of inuenza. The ctional data set is as follows.What is the relationship between the variables % residents immunized and % residents with inuenza? a. Create a scatterplot to illustrate the relationship between % residents immunized and % residents with inuenza. b. What is the correlation coefcient between % residents immunized and % residents with inuenza? c. Describe the strength of the relationship between % residents immunized and % residents with inuenza. d. What is the equation of the best t line that describes the relationship between % residents immunized and % residents with inuenza? e. Could you use the best t line to produce accurate predictions of % residents with inuenza using % residents immunized?
