Q2A

The World Bank collected data on the percentage of GDP that a country spends on health expenditures ("Health expenditure," 2013) and also the percentage of women receiving prenatal care ("Pregnant woman receiving," 2013).  The data for the 15 countries where this information are available for the year 2011 is in the table below:

2.  Use technology to determine regression equation between percentage GDP spent on health and percentage of women receiving prenatal care.

Enter regression equation the format as follows:

y^=a+bx

with slope rounded to nearest thousandth and y-intercept value rounded to nearest thousandth. Examples of correctly entered answers:

y^=4.913+17.347x

y^=7.553-11.225x

Linear regression equation calculator:

 3.  Use the regression equation to find the percent of women receiving prenatal care for a country that spends 5.0% of GDP on health expenditure

Enter amount to nearest thousandth; do not include percent sign

 

 4.  Use the regression equation to find the percent of women receiving prenatal care for a country that spends 12.0% of GDP on health expenditure

Enter amount to nearest thousandth; do not include percent sign
