1. Question: Malaria is a leading cause of infectious disease and death worldwide. It is also a popular example of a vector-borne disease that could be greatly affected by the influence of climate change. Table 1 is a summary from a linear regression that uses dewpoint (°C) to predict malaria prevalence in West Africa.
