Module 3 Assignment: Correlation & Regression. The assignments in this course are designed to assist you in applying the techniques you learned in the module to real-world scenarios. For this assignment, consider the following scenario:

On your way home after working several hours at your job, you notice several behaviors there are slightly alarming to you such as: people arguing and fighting in the street, exchanging money for what appear to be small clear plastic bags, and openly carrying what appear to be handguns. As a result, you mentally begin to follow several threads of thought regarding what people think about the level of crime in the community, how many victims of crime are in the community, and people's thoughts about gun ownership. When you arrive home, you decide to do a quick Internet search about the level of crime and victimization and gun ownership in your community. What you find is a website that allows you to learn more about the very behaviors that you observed on the way home and were looking to find more information about during your Internet search. You decide that you'll spend a few minutes using the online tool to conduct an analysis of related variables so that you can share what you found with your coworkers when you return to work later in the week. You know that that they are also interested in learning more about these behaviors, as for the last couple of weeks you spent your lunch hour having such conversations with your coworkers.

You will be analyzing the following variables located in the data set:

• CRIM24HR! (x-independent)
• FEARASLT! (y-dependent)
