Econ 221 Project: Vitamin Level Analysis, Age, and Pollution Effects

This project, conducted for Econ 221, investigates the relationship between age, pollutant exposure, and vitamin maintenance levels within a population. The analysis employs a two-population model to compare vitamin levels between youth and adult age groups, utilizing histograms, descriptive statistics, and hypothesis testing to determine if age significantly impacts vitamin deficiency susceptibility. Furthermore, a simple regression model is used to assess the influence of pollutant exposure on vitamin levels, examining scatter plots, estimated regression parameters, and fitted values to determine the strength and significance of this relationship. Statistical tests are conducted to evaluate the significance of regression coefficients, and the results are interpreted to draw conclusions about the effects of pollutant exposure on the vitamin levels of both adult and youth age groups.
