Introduction● Diabetes is a serious & potentially fatal metabolic disease
where the body does not produce or use insulin correctly. ○ Type I & Type II
● Dependent variable(Y)- Diabetic population
● Independent variable(X)- Race, poverty, high blood pressure, & obesity
Hypothesis 1 There is a marked difference between the prevalence by race. Being black increases the
likelihood of developing diabetes.
r = 0.44 r2 = 0.19
Hypothesis 3Those with high blood pressure have a higher likelihood to be diabetic.
r = 0.43 r2 = 0.18
Hypothesis 4If an individual is obese he or she will be more likely to be diabetic.
r = 0.44 r2 = 0.19
