USE THE INFORMATION BELOW TO ANSWER QUESTIONS 34 THRU 37 The infant mortality rate is expressed as the number of infant deaths per 1000 live births. According to the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), which keeps accurate, up-to-date infant mortality statistics throughout the world, in 2019 there were 33 nations with better infant mortality rates than the United States. The US infant mortality rate of 6.22 infant deaths per 1000 live births ranked 34th. It appears that at a certain stage innations' movement up the socioeconomic scale?after the basic necessities for infant survival (proper nutrition, sanitation, cle an water,and access to health care) have been met?a counter-intuitive relationship occurs between best fit line and the number of vaccines given toinfants and infant mortality rates: nations with higher (worse) infant mortality rates give their infants, on average, more vaccine doses. Thispositive correlation, derived from the data elicits an important inquiry: are some infant deaths associated with over-vaccination? The vaccinedoses for various countries in this study ranged from 12 doses to 26 doses. Correlation of "Infant Mortality Rate" and "Vaccine Doses" = r = 0.992 The regression equation is "Infant Mortality Rate" = 1.34 + 0.157(Vaccine Doses)

Question 34 Choose the most appropriate interpretation of the slope. O For every increase by 1 in the infant mortality rate the doses decrease by 0.157. O For every increase by 1 in the infant mortality rate the doses increase by 0.992 O For every extra vaccine dose increase, the infant mortality rate goes up by 0.157. O For every extra vaccine dose decrease, the infant mortality rate goes up by 0.157. Question 35 Predict the mortality rate if a country administers 15 doses to their infants. O 3.695 O 3.476 O 3.560 O This value of vaccine doses is beyond the scope of the data. Question 36 Predict the mortality rate if a country administers 30 doses to their infants. O 6.050 O 6.377 O This value of vaccine doses is beyond the scope of the data. O 5.934 Question 37 Interpret the correlation coefficient. There is a: O strong negative linear relationship between the number of vaccines given to infants and the mortality rate. O strong positive linear relationship between the number of vaccines given to infants and the mortality rate. O weak positive linear relationship between the number of vaccines given to infants and the mortality rate. O weak negative linear relationship between the number of vaccines given to infants and the mortality rate
