Extracted text: Fisher and van Belle (1993) report mortality rates due to malignant melanoma of the skin for white males during the period 1950-1969, for each state on the US mainland. In the data set provided below, the latitude is the latitude of the geographic center of the state and the mortality rate is the number of white males who died due to malignant melanoma per one million inhabitants during the period between 1950 and 1969.

Which variable is the explanatory variable? O latitude O mortality rate 3. Which variable is the response variable? O mortality rate O latitude 4. Copy and paste the data into a statistical software package. Then compute the correlation coefficient between the latitude and mortality from malignant melanoma (Round your answer to 4 decimal places). Mortality (per million)
