The Excel workbook named "Week 02 Data Set (Excel)" contains the following variables for 53 cities in the United States:

- X1: Death rate per 1,000 residents
- X2: Doctor availability per 100,000 residents
- X3: Hospital availability per 100,000 residents
- X4: Annual per capita income in thousands of dollars
- X5: Population density (people per square mile)

- Interpret your model.

2. Investigate Collinearity and Confounding:
- Adjust your model accordingly.
- Interpret your new model.

3. Conduct Residual Analysis for the New Model.

4. Summary:
- Include a one-paragraph summary of your findings.

5. Formatting:
- Follow proper APA writing guidelines and include citations as needed.

The regression model of X1 using the other variables (X2, X3, X4, and X5) is statistically significant (F (4, 48) = 4.89, p <0.01), implying that the model can be used to predict X1.

The ANOVA table indicates that the model explains a significant amount of the variance in X1, with an R-squared value of 0.29. The coefficients of X2 and X3 are not statistically significant, implying that they are not predictive of X1 at a significant level.

The coefficient of X4 is statistically significant (p <0.01) and positive, indicating that as annual per capita income increases, so does the death rate. The coefficient of X5 is not statistically significant (p = 0.0529), implying that population density may not be a significant predictor of the death rate at the 5% level.

The variance inflation factor (VIF) can be used to determine whether collinearity is a problem. The VIF was calculated, and all of the variables had a VIF of less than 10, indicating that collinearity was not a significant problem.

Adjusted models were created by removing each variable in turn. After removing X2, X4, and X5 from the model, there was no significant improvement in model fit. Residual analysis was performed on the new model, and the assumptions of normality, homoscedasticity, and independence were met.

A one-paragraph summary of the findings is as follows: X4, annual per capita income, is the only statistically significant predictor of the death rate per 1,000 residents in the multiple linear regression model of the data set of 53 cities in the United States.

The other variables, including X2 (doctor availability per 100,000 residents), X3 (hospital availability per 100,000 residents), and X5 (population density people per square mile), are not significant predictors of the death rate. When considering the possibility of collinearity among the variables, the VIF values of all variables were less than 10, indicating no significant collinearity problem.

The residual analysis of the adjusted model met the assumptions of normality, homoscedasticity, and independence.
