You notice that southern states tend to have higher coronavirus hospitalizations per million.

Make a variable called "South" that is equal to 1 in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia; and is equal to 0 in every other state.

Now run a multiple regression with coronavirus hospitalizations per million people as the dependent variable, and all three of your other variables as independent variables.

Holding vaccinations per 1000 people and population density constant, how much higher are hospitalizations per million people in the southern states relative to other states on average?

Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
