Today i tried to see if there was any relation between the distribution of the average %diabetes ,%inactivity and %obesity with by state
1. The bar plot of % diabetes showed that the states of South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Delaware, Florida and Maryland have the highest aveager % of diabetics
(>=10%)
2. The bar plot of % inactivity showed that the states of Alabama, Kentucky, Nebraska, New York and Oklahoma have the highest average % of inactivity (>=17%)
3. The bar plot of % obese showed that barring 10 states, all the others have have the high average % of obesity (>18%)
4. While plotting the corelation there seems to be no correlation between ‘State’ and ‘%Diabetic,%Inactivity and %Obesity. However there a couple of states like Alabama and Kentucky that have corresponding high or low values of each which would indicate that there could be a correlation. one hing to note would be that this correlations is occuring on only 300 or so data points, there are many counties whose data we do not have and this could account for the negative correlation.
5. Another thing to note is that there is a positive correlation between ‘%Diabetic- %Inactivity’ ,’%Diabetic -%Obesity’ and ‘%Inactivity -%Obesity’ of 0.7032549 ,0.5269106 and 0.590831 respectively.
