heart disease
Kristin asked:


He finds the best-fit (regression) line for predicting deaths from heart disease (in deaths per 100,000 population) from the amount of wine consumed (in liters per person per year). The line is given by:
Heart disease death rate = 168.5 – 1.5 x wine consumption
The doctor reckons that by increasing the wine consumption rate to 115 liters per year, the country will eliminate all deaths from heart disease. Give two reasons why this conclusion may not be valid.

      One is that it isn’t a zero-order function, but even more importantly, the guy who plans ahead and tries to get in his entire year’s consumption in the first two days of January may not make it.
