Drinking moderate amounts of wine may help prevent heart attacks. Let's look at data for entire nations. Table 15.1 gives data on yearly wine consumption (liters of alcohol from drinking wine, per person) and yearly deaths from heart disease (deaths per 100,000 people) in 19 developed countries in 2001. a. Make a scatterplot that shows how national wine consumption helps explain heart disease death rates. b. Describe in words the direction, form, and strength of the relationship. c. The correlation for these variables is r =-0.645. Why does this value agree with your description in part (b)? inch Table 15.1 Wine consumption and heart disease Country Alcohol from wine Heart disease death rate Australia 3.25 80 Austria 4.75 100 Belgium 2.75 60 Canada 1.50 80 Denmark 4.50 90 Finland 3.00 120 France 8.50 40 Germany 3.75 90 Iceland 1.25 110 Ireland 2.00 130 Italy 7.50 60 Netherlands 2.75 70 New Zealand 2.50 100 Norway 1.75 80 Spain 5.00 50 Sweden 2.50 90 Switzerland 6.00 70
