) Make a scatter plot of mice survival rate (response) against aspartame concentration (explanatory) and add the regression line. Described the direction, form, and strength of the relationship. What percent of the variation in mice survival rate can be explained by variations in aspartame concentrations

Answer & Step-by-step explanation:

Regression studies the relationship between independent / explanatory  (causal) variable, dependent / response (effected) variable. Scatter plot is a diagrammatic representation of regression.

Aspartame Concentration, being a toxic substance, is likely to have negative regression relationship with mice survival rate. It implies that higher concentration leads to lower mice survival, & lower concentration leads to higher mice survival.

The relationship can be strong or weak, depicted by 'r' magnitude, depending upon the intensity of concentration impact on survival. If more percent of the variation in survival rate can be explained by variations in  concentrations, regression coefficient is high. If less percent of the variation in  survival rate can be explained by variations in concentrations, regression coefficient is low
