A study is investigating the link between alcohol use and hypertension (high blood pressure). Data have been gathered from 50 volunteers. The data consist of the number of units of alcohol consumed per day, and the end systolic blood pressure (in mmHg). These data are contained in the files“alcohol.mat” and “blood_pressure.mat”
Based on your answer to the previous part, answer the following questions about these data:
a. Can you conclude that consuming more alcohol causes an in-crease in blood pressure?
b. What would be the estimated blood pressure for an individual who consumed 5 units of alcohol per day?
c. An individual has an end systolic blood pressure of 120 mm Hg. How many alcohol units would you estimate that they consume per day? Round your answer to the nearest integer.
