Obesity(Sleep) = -0.14209 (Sleep) + 9.87592

 

There is a negative linear relationship between obesity and the amount of sleeping.

In this segment, we analyzed if there was multicollinearity between smoking, obesity, physical inactivity and sleeping. After constructing a multi-linear model and looking at Mallow's coefficient and adjusted r-squared, we deemed that Smoke, Sleep and Inactivity were the best predictors for Obesity. ​
