During the 1950’s, radioactive material leaked form a storage area near Hanford,
Washington, into the Columbia River nearby. For nine counties downstream in Oregon, an
index of exposure X was calculated (based on the distance from Hanford). Also the cancer
mortality Y was calculated (deaths per 100,000 person-years, 1959 – 1964). This data is
summarised as follows:
Calculate the linear regression coefficients b
0
and b
1
for this data.
Interpret the linear equation.
Solution:
That is, Estimated cancer mortality
