How do I run the regression of these data for the statistics?
Please, if you can help! I know a little to emphasize data data analysis and then select regression, but am confused about exactly what data to highlight. I have to inform the regression line R-square, t-ratio P value. Then interpret the data. Here are the variables I chose: http://www.census.gov/compendia/statab/cats/health_nutrition/health_risk_factors.html on this page is 201 current cigarette smokers by sex and State: 2008 and estimated 204-Use of Drugs by the State in Excel. I have to use at least 15 observations. If you can help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
It does not look like cigarette smoking correlates well with the use of "any illicit drug" Here are the data and analysis, knock your socks: Data: (Table 201. Total current smoker: 2008, current any illicit drug) (9.2, 6.2), (14, 9.1), (14.8, 6.4), (14.9, 7.3), (15.4, 9.9), (15.7, 9.6), (15.9, 9) (16, 8.2) (16.1, 8.9) (16.3, 12.2) ( 16.4, 12.1) (16.5, 7.3) (16.8, 9) (16.8, 11.6) (16.9, 8), (17, 10.7), (17.4, 13.3) (17.5, 7.8), (17.6, 8.2), (17.6, 11.7) (17.6 , 6.3), (17.8, 9.1), (17.9, 6.8), (18.2, 5.9), (18.2, 9.1), (18.4, 6.4), (18.5, 10), (18.6, 6.3), (18.8, 4.1 ), (19.4, 6.8), (19.4, 8.7), (19.5, 7.3), (19.9, 8.7), (20.1, 6.7), (20.2, 7.6), (20.4, 9), (20.5, 7.2), (20.9, 7.8), (21.3, 7.2), ( 21.4, 6.6), (21.7, 11.8) (22.2, 6.7), (22.3, 9.4), (22.4, 8), (22.7, 6.4), (23.2, 8.2), (24.8, 8.1), (25, 7.4), (25.3, 8.4), ( 26.1, 8.8), (26.6, 6.8) n = 51; sx = 968.1; sx ² = 18948.69; sx ³ = 381,700.905; sx ^ 4 = 7902924.3717 Σy = 424.1; Σxy = 8003.68; Σy ² = 3703.33; and sx ² = 155559.186 Σlog (y) = 106.7765; sx * log (y) = 2022.3364; Σlog ² (y) = 226,058 linear regression: y = mx + b =- 0.0817x 9867; r = -0.147, r ^ 2 = 0.0216 quadratic regression: y = ax ² + bx + c =- 0.0137x ² x 0.4465 4.9389

How Sahaja Yoga helps one to stop smoking
There are so many publications and web sites addressing the “how to give up smoking” subject that one may ask, what is the need to write something else? There are two reasons why I decided to write this article. Firstly, despite all what has been written, many of us don’t really know what effects smoking has on our health. Secondly, methods used to stop smoking are in many cases expensive and mostly not very effective. Here we will suggest another method which is easy, completely natural, costs nothing and which really helps one to stop smoking. But first, for those who still don’t want to stop smoking, let us give a few scaring facts. I, of course, don’t want to frighten anybody, this is just another attempt to raise more awareness about this subject.
Many of us heard this example in college that a drop of nicotine can kill a horse. And many also heard a typical answer that “in that case the horse should not smoke”. That is, this argument does not sound very convincing. What else should we know then about the effect of nicotine? Most of us know that nicotine is very harmful for the lungs, it can cause lung cancer and other kinds of cancer. But nicotine also changes the chemical functions in the brain. That is why it creates addiction like all other drugs. Researches done in the US have shown that teen smokers are more likely to have panic attacks, anxiety disorders, and depression. Each year, nearly half a million Americans die from tobacco use. One of every six deaths in the United States is a result of smoking tobacco, making tobacco more lethal than all other addictive drugs combined.
But tobacco (nicotine) is not the only harmful substance in the cigarettes. Most of us don’t know that, when smoking, we inhale thousands of chemicals with the cigarette smoke:
In 1936 there were 120 additives used in cigarettes,
in 1959 their number increased to 450,
in 1968 there were 950 kinds of additives,
in 1982, 3875,
and today their number exceeds 4000!
So, what people smoke now is not just tobacco, it is a complex mixture of various chemical components. They are added for various purposes. Some give flavors to the cigarettes, some work as preservatives, but many additives are used in fact to increase one’s addiction so that it becomes much more difficult to stop smoking than it used to be, say, 50 years ago. Most of these substances have, of course, a negative effect on the human health.
Light cigarettes. This is another myth created by the tobacco industries. When they first came on the market in 1970, it was believed that light cigarettes are less harmful. However later researches have shown that light cigarettes result in the same risk of illness and death as a result of smoking.
So, smoking has a very diverse negative effect on the human health, and there is no way out like light cigarettes or anything. But how to stop smoking? Most common methods used are: nicotine replacement treatments, acupuncture, injections, medication. However none of these methods gives statistically proven strong effect. Besides, some of them are rather costly and some produce side effects. Thus we suggest you try Sahaja Yoga which will help you to give up smoking in an easy and natural way.
Sahaja Yoga is a method of awakening the Kundalini energy discovered in 1970 by Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi from India. According to the Indian tradition, Kundalini is a spiritual power that lies dormant in the Sacrum bone and has to be awakened by yoga practices. Once awakened, it rises through the central energy channel in the spine and opens and enlightens the seven energy centers called chakras. When Kundalini opens the seventh chakra located in the limbic area, yoga (i.e. the inner and outer integration of our being) is said to take place. To achieve Kundalini awakening is the ultimate goal of every yoga system, however only due to Shri Mataji’s discovery this process became effortless and can now be achieved by all. Kundalini balances our inner energy system consisting basically of 7 energy centers (chakras) and 3 energy channels. Once the balance is established, the body naturally does not want to take anything that is harmful and disturbs this balance. Thus all bad habits, like drinking, smoking, drug addiction drop out automatically without the need to do anything special about that. This sounds like a very strong statement but it is so. Sociological study done on 320 Sahaja Yoga practitioners showed that just after the first year of practice about 75% stop drinking, smoking and using drugs. After 5 years of practicing Sahaja Yoga less than 10% of practitioners still have some of those bad habits.
One of the reasons why Sahaja Yoga is so effective against smoking is that the Kundalini energy works in the 7th chakra, that is in the limbic area. It is the limbic area that is affected by nicotine and other drugs thus giving one a sense of pleasure. But much stronger pleasure can be achieved in the state of meditation on the 7th chakra and that without any side effects. As a result, one just does not feel any desire to continue smoking or taking drugs.
So, although the aim of Sahaja Yoga is much beyond just getting rid of bad habits, we invite all those who want to stop smoking, drinking or taking drugs to try Sahaja Yoga meditation and to see the benefits for themselves.
